Question

The reaction of sodium ethoxide with ethyl iodide to form diethyl ether is termed
(a) electrophilic substitution
(b) nucleophilic substitution
(c) electrophilic addition
(d) radical substitution

Answer 1

The reaction of sodium ethoxide with ethyl iodide to form diethyl ether is termed as :

(c) nucleophilic substitution.

Answer 2

The reaction of sodium ethoxide with ethyl iodide to form diethyl ether is termed nucleophilic substitution

Explanation:

• Nucleophilic substitutions involve attack of a positively charged (or partially positively charged) atom or group by a nucleophile.
• Nucleophiles are species that can donate an electron pair. Nucleophilic substitution reactions are an important class of reactions that allow the inter conversion of functional groups.
• For alcohols, the range of substitution reactions possible can be increased by utilizing the tosylates (R-OTs), an alternative method of converting the -OH to a better leaving group.
