Assertion : `(CH_(3))_(3)C-Br and CH_(3)CH_(2)O"N"a` react to form `(CH_(3))_(3)C-O-CH_(2)CH_(3)`
Reason : Good yields of ethers are obtained when tertalkyl halides are treated with alkoxides .

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If the assertion and reason both are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`(CH_3)_3 CONa and CH_3CH_2Br` react to form `(CH_3)_3 C-O-CH_2CH_3` . Good yields of ethers are obtained when primary alkyl halides are treated with alkoxides derived from any alcohol. 2° or 3°.
