Question

72. In which case methyl-t-butyl ether is formed? 1) (C2H5)3CONa + CH3Cl 2) (CH3)3CONa + CH3Cl 3) (CH3)3CCl + C2H5ONa 4) (CH3)3CCl + CH3ONa

Answer 1

Answer:

(2) and (4)

Explanation:

Williamson's ether synthesis reaction:-

R-X+R'-ONa--->R-OR'+NaX

therefore on checking th options, you will get options 2 and 4

(P.S: you could also check for the number of carbons in the required product and the reactants, if they match then it could be your answer)

Hope this answer was helpful :)
