Question

Tert-butyl ethyl ether cannot be prepared by Williamson’s synthesis. Give reason.​

Answer 1

Answer:

To prepare di tert-butyl ether by Williamson’s synthesis, we need tert-butyl bromide and Sodium tertiary butoxide. Since tert-butyl bromide being 3°-alkyl halide prefers to undergo elimination rather than substitution, therefore the product obtained is isobutylene rather than ditertiary butyl ether.
