Question:

Suggest the reaction that can best be used to prepare following ethers by Williamson ether synthesis.

Answer:

a)

$$\overset{\text{O}}{\underset{\text{Na}^{+}}{\text{}}} + \text{I} \overset{\text{O}}{\underset{\text{O}}{\text{}}} \longrightarrow \overset{\text{O}}{\underset{\text{O}}{\text{}}}$$

b)

\overset{\text{O}}{\underset{\text{Na}^{+}}{\text{O}}}} + \text{I} \overset{\text{O}}{\underset{\text{O}}{\text{O}}} \longrightarrow \overset{\text{O}}{\underset{\text{O}}{\text{O}}}
