Question

Name the reagent used in the conversion , a) Bromoethane to ethoxyethane , b) Bromoethane to ethanol​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation :

Identify the reagent for conversation of bromoethane to ethanol

Answer 2

The following reagents are used in the following conversions:

(a) Bromoethane to ethoxyethane

• Bromoethane is a kind of alkyl halide, whereas ethoxyethane is an ether.
• To make ether from alkyl halides or to convert alkyl halides to ether, the alkyl halide must be heated with a reagent known as dry silver oxide.
• This method transforms alkyl halide to ether.
• Bromoethane is therefore transformed into ethoxyethane and silver bromide.

(b) Ethanol to bromoethane

• We can make ethanol by brominating ethane with bromoethane in the presence of sunshine.
• Bromoethane is formed when it interacts with dilute NaOH to form ethanol.
• The reagent employed in the conversion is dilute NaOH.
