Vedclass · Answer

(B) $1$. The $Williamson$ synthesis involves the reaction of an alkoxide ion with a primary alkyl halide to form an ether.$2$. In option $B$, $sodium \ tertiary \ butoxide$ ($CH_3)_3CONa$ reacts with $methyl \ bromide$ $(CH_3Br)$. Since $methyl \ bromide$ is a primary alkyl halide, $S_N2$ reaction occurs efficiently to form $tert-butyl \ methyl \ ether$.$3$. In option $A$, the use of a tertiary alkyl halide $(tertiary \ butyl \ bromide)$ with an alkoxide leads to an elimination reaction (forming an alkene) rather than substitution, making it unsuitable for ether synthesis.

Column-$I$ (Product)	Column-$II$ (Reagent)
$A$. Mainly $p$-bromoanisole	$i$. Anhydrous $AlCl_3$,$CH_3COCl$
$B$. $4$-nitroanisole	$ii$. $CH_3Cl$,anhydrous $AlCl_3$ in $CS_2$
$C$. $4$-methoxytoluene	$iii$. $Br_2$ in ethanoic acid
$D$. $4$-methoxyacetophenone	$iv$. Mixture of conc. $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$

Which of the following is a suitable method for the preparation of ether via the $Williamson$ synthesis?
