The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the reaction of `CH3(CH3)3C-ONa + CH3CH2Cl → CH3(CH3)3C-O-CH2-CH3`, we need to identify the type of reaction that is taking place. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants and Products**: - The reactants are `CH3(CH3)3C-ONa` (sodium tert-butoxide) and `CH3CH2Cl` (ethyl chloride). - The product is `CH3(CH3)3C-O-CH2-CH3` (tert-butyl ethyl ether). 2. **Recognize the Reaction Type**: - This reaction involves the formation of an ether from an alcohol (or alkoxide) and an alkyl halide. - The alkoxide ion (from sodium tert-butoxide) acts as a nucleophile and attacks the electrophilic carbon of the alkyl halide (ethyl chloride). 3. **Mechanism of the Reaction**: - The nucleophilic attack leads to the displacement of the halide ion (Cl-) and the formation of the ether bond (C-O). - This process is characteristic of the Williamson Ether Synthesis. 4. **Conclusion**: - The reaction is classified as Williamson Ether Synthesis, which is a well-known method for synthesizing ethers. ### Final Answer: The reaction is called **Williamson Ether Synthesis**.
