Explain Williamson’ssynthesis.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The formation of ethers by the reactions of alkyl halide (primary) with sodium alkoxides is known as Williamson.s synthesis.
This reaction is given below
`underset("Ethyl Bromide")(CH_3CH_2^(+)Br^(-))+underset("Sodiumethoxide")(Na^(+)O^(-)CH_2CH_3)rarrunderset("Diethyl ether")(CH_3-CH_2-O)-CH_2-CH_3+NaBr`
