The correct Answer is:
To prepare the compound `(CH₃)₃C-O-CH₂-C₆H₅` using Williamson's synthesis, we need to identify the appropriate reactants. Williamson's synthesis involves the reaction of an alkyl halide with a sodium alkoxide to form an ether. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure**: The given structure `(CH₃)₃C-O-CH₂-C₆H₅` is a tertiary butyl group `(CH₃)₃C-` connected to an ether bond `-O-` and then to a benzyl group `-CH₂-C₆H₅`. 2. **Determine the Alkoxide**: In Williamson's synthesis, we need a sodium alkoxide. The alkoxide corresponding to the tertiary butyl group is `(CH₃)₃C-O⁻Na⁺` (sodium tert-butoxide). 3. **Identify the Alkyl Halide**: We need an alkyl halide that can react with the sodium alkoxide to form the ether. The benzyl group `-CH₂-C₆H₅` suggests that we can use benzyl chloride `C₆H₅CH₂Cl` as the alkyl halide. 4. **Write the Reaction**: The reaction can be summarized as follows: \[ (CH₃)₃C-O⁻Na⁺ + C₆H₅CH₂Cl \rightarrow (CH₃)₃C-O-CH₂-C₆H₅ + NaCl \] Here, the sodium alkoxide `(CH₃)₃C-O⁻` acts as a nucleophile and attacks the benzyl chloride, resulting in the formation of the ether and sodium chloride as a byproduct. 5. **Conclusion**: Therefore, the correct reactants for the Williamson synthesis to prepare `(CH₃)₃C-O-CH₂-C₆H₅` are sodium tert-butoxide and benzyl chloride. ### Final Answer: The compound `(CH₃)₃C-O-CH₂-C₆H₅` can be prepared from Williamson's synthesis using: - **Sodium tert-butoxide** `(CH₃)₃C-O⁻Na⁺` - **Benzyl chloride** `C₆H₅CH₂Cl`
