Question

Which of the following reactions is feasible for the preparation of 1-propoxy-2-methyl propane (I)?

• A. Williamson's synthesis of $\left( Me _{2} CHCH _{2} ONa \right.$ $\left.+ MeCH _{2} CH _{2} Cl \right)$.
• B. Williamson's synthesis of $Me _{2} CHCH _{2} Cl$ $\left.+ MeCH _{2} CH _{2} ONa \right)$.
• C. Alkoxy mercuration-demercuration of $\left( Me _{2} CH = CH _{2}+ MeCH _{2} CH _{2} OH \right)$.
• D. Alkoxy mercuration demercuration of propene with $Me _{2} CHCH _{2} OH$.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

Correct answer is (a) Williamson's synthesis of $\left( Me _{2} CHCH _{2} ONa \right.$ $\left.+ MeCH _{2} CH _{2} Cl \right)$.Correct answer is (b) Williamson's synthesis of $Me _{2} CHCH _{2} Cl$ $\left.+ MeCH _{2} CH _{2} ONa \right)$.
