williamson synthesis reaction ...​

Answer 1

HELLO MATE

The Williamson Ether Synthesis is an old reaction, dating back to 1851, but hasn’t been surpassed. There just isn’t a simpler way out there to make an ether. It’s a type of reaction we’ve already seen many times before – an SN2 reaction between a deprotonated alcohol [“alkoxide”] and an alkyl halide that forms an ether. Note that we’re forming and breaking a bond on carbon here – the textbook sign of a substitution reaction.
