Question
Write the reactions of Williamson synthesis of 2-ethoxy-3-methylpentane starting from ethanol and 3-methylpentan-2-ol.
Solution
\[\begin{array}{cc}
\ce{CH3 - CH2 - CH - CH - CH3 ->[Na] CH3 - CH2 - CH - CH - ONa}\\
\phantom{......}|\phantom{......}|\phantom{............................}|\phantom{......}|\phantom{.}\\
