The correct Answer is:
To solve the given question, we need to analyze the reaction between CH₃Br (methyl bromide) and the sodium alkoxide (NaO-CH₃) derived from the tertiary alcohol. This reaction is an example of the Williamson ether synthesis. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Reactants**: - The reactants are CH₃Br (methyl bromide) and NaO-CH₃ (sodium methoxide). 2. **Understand the Reaction Type**: - This reaction is a Williamson ether synthesis, which involves the formation of an ether from an alkyl halide and an alkoxide. 3. **Mechanism of Reaction**: - The sodium alkoxide (NaO-CH₃) has a negatively charged oxygen atom (O⁻) which acts as a nucleophile. - The carbon attached to the bromine in CH₃Br has a partial positive charge due to the electronegativity of bromine, making it susceptible to nucleophilic attack. 4. **Nucleophilic Attack**: - The negatively charged oxygen (O⁻) from the sodium alkoxide attacks the carbon atom of CH₃Br, displacing the bromine atom (Br⁻). - This is an SN2 reaction, where the nucleophile attacks from the opposite side of the leaving group (Br). 5. **Formation of Ether**: - After the nucleophilic attack, the product formed is an ether (CH₃-O-CH₃) and sodium bromide (NaBr) as a byproduct. 6. **Final Product**: - The final product of the reaction is dimethyl ether (CH₃-O-CH₃) and NaBr. ### Conclusion: The product of the reaction CH₃Br + NaO-CH₃ is dimethyl ether (CH₃-O-CH₃) along with NaBr as a byproduct.
