Question

In Williamson’s synthesis, ethoxyethane is prepared by
(a) passing ethanol over heated alumina
(b) sodium ethoxide with ethyl bromide
(c) ethyl alcohol with sulphuric acid
(d) ethyl iodide and dry silver oxide

Answer 1

In williamson's synthesis reaction ethoxy Ethane is produced by passing sodium ethoxide with ethyl Bromide.

Option: (b)

Explanation:

• Williamsons reaction is a very important reaction for production of ethers. An Ether is a compound which consists of a single oxygen atom which is linked by single bond on both sides two organic parts.

• In Williamson synthesis of sodium salt of an organic oxide is made to react with a halolkane.

• This results in the formation of a corresponding Ether. This reaction is widely used for the the industrial preparation of ethers.
