Question

Write a note williamson's synthesis

Answer 1

Explanation:

William synthesis is of the chemical method used to prepare different kinds of ethers. This involves heating of haloalkanes with sodium or potassium alkoxide.

$R'-X+RONa\rightarrow ROR'+NaX$

This reaction occurs as second order kinetics of nucleophilic substitution reaction that is $S_N2$ reaction. This reaction is helpful in preparing of mixed and unsymmetrical ethers.
