Q.
Which of the following is an appropriate set of reactants for the preparation of $1$ -methoxy-$4$ nitrobenzene?
AMUAMU 2010Amines
Solution:
When the alkyl halide is primary, alkoxide (or aryloxide) attacks on it and ether is obtained as a major product.
Aryl halides generally do not react with sodium alkoxide but presence of strong electron withdrawing group like - $NO _{2}$ at ortho/para position facilitate the reaction. Thus, reaction given in option
(a) also gives
