Question

The major product formed in the following reaction is, CH3Br + CH3 CH2 ONa -> (A) CH3 CH2CH2OH (B) CH3 OCH3 (C) CH3 CH2OCH3 (D) CH3 CH2OCH2Br

CH3Br+ CH3 CH2ONa -> CH3CH2OCH3 This reaction is also known as Williamson synthesis reaction. In this method, an alkyl halide is allowed to react with sodium alkoxide to give ether. The reaction involves SN2 attack of an alkoxide ion on primary alkyl halide.

Q. The major product formed in the following reaction is, $C H_{3} B r + C H_{3} C H_{2} ON a$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} C H_{2} O H$

$C H_{3} OC H_{3}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} OC H_{3}$

$C H_{3} C H_{2} OC H_{2} B r$

$C H_{3} B r + C H_{3} C H_{2} ON a C H_{3} C H_{2} OC H_{3}$
This reaction is also known as Williamson synthesis reaction. In this method, an alkyl halide is allowed to react with sodium alkoxide to give ether. The reaction involves $S_{N} 2$ attack of an alkoxide ion on primary alkyl halide.
