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

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) In this case, the alkyl hailde is of tertiary nature. The moleculphile ` C_(2)H_(5)O^(-)` ion will cauuse the elimination of the alkyl halid and the major productis an alkene.

In case tert-butyl ether is to be formed as the prodcut, alkyl halide must be primary and alkoxide must be of tertiary nature
