Answer:
if we mix 2naphthol, NaOH, and benzyl chloride all simultaneously in the Synthesis of 2-(benzyloxy) naphthalene via SN2, the reaction occurs in 2 steps as follows:
Step 1: 2Napthol forms the naphthoxide ion in alkaline conditions.
Step 2: The naphthoxide ion reacts with benzyl chloride to for 1(Benzyloxy) Naphthalene via the SN2 reaction
