Question
Convert the following by giving a chemical equation:
Ethyl bromide to diethyl ether.
Solution
The method known as Williamson synthesis forms ether by reacting an alkyl halide with sodium alkoxide.
By heating ethyl bromide with sodium ethoxide, diethyl ether can be produced.
\[\ce{\underset{bromide}{\underset{Ethyl}{CH3CH2Br}} + \underset{ethoxide}{\underset{Sodium}{CH3CH2ONa}}-> \underset{Diethyl ether}{CH3CH2OCH2CH3} + NaBr}\]
