Question

how are Ethers prepared from alkyl halide??

Answer 1

SN2 reaction of alkoxide ions with alkyl halides to give ethers (Williamson synthesis) Description: Alkyl halides (or tosylates) will react with alkoxy ions to form ethers. This reaction is called the Williamson ether synthesis. ... Notes: Again, the Na(+) is not crucial here, it's just a spectator ion.
