Explanation:
The Williamson ether synthesis is an organic reaction, forming an ether from an organohalide and a deprotonated alcohol (alkoxide). ... An example is the reaction of sodium ethoxide with chloroethane to form diethyl ether and sodium chloride: [Na]+[C2H5O]− + C2H5Cl → C2H5OC2H5 + [Na]+[Cl]
Named after: Alexander William Williamson
