Write the reaction of Williamson's synthesis of 2-ethoxy-3-methyl pentane starting from ethanol and 3-methyl pentan-2-ol.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Alkyl halide should be primary for Williamsonn.s synthesis. Hence, alkyl halide is derived from ethanol and the alkoxide ion from 3-methyl pentan-2-ol.
