b)SN^2 rcn
c) electrophilic addition
d) electrophilic substitution​

Answer 1

• Williamson Synthesis of preparing dimethyl ether is an .........

Answer is SN² reaction .

=> This reaction takes place when metal alkoxide reacts with an alkyl halide .

=> Upto 2° alkyl halide , it is SN² reaction

=> In 3° alkyl halide , it is E2 reaction

Answer 2

Answer:SN^2 Reaction

Explanation:

Primary RX ( CH3X) better yield of ether

primary RX SN2 will be fast
