The following is not an appropriate reaction for the preparation of t-butyl ethyl ethers.
`C_(2)H_(5)ONa+CH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-ClrarrCH_(3)-underset(CH_(3))underset(|)overset(CH_(3))overset(|)C-OC_(2)H_(5)`
(i) What would be the major product of this reaction ?
(ii) Write a suitable reaction for the preparation of tert-butylethyl ether.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the alkyl halide is `3^(@)`, (t-butyl chloride) and `C_(2)H_(5)ON a` is a strong base, therefore, elimination occurs to form 2-methylprop-1-ene.

To prepare t-butyl ethyl ether, the alkyl halide should be `1^(@)`, i.e., chloroethane and the nucleophile should be sod. t-butoxide.
