Anisole can be prepared by the action of methyl iodide on sodium phenate. The reaction is called
- A Wurtz's reaction
- B Williamson's reaction
- C Fittig's reaction
- D Etard's reaction
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Williamson's reaction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The reaction of alkyl halide with sodium alkoxide to give ether (alkoxy alkane), is known as Williamson's synthesis. In this reaction an ether (anisole) is prepared by the action of alkyl halide
(methyl iodide) on sodium alkoxide (sodium phenate), so it is an example of Williamson's synthesis.
(methyl iodide) on sodium alkoxide (sodium phenate), so it is an example of Williamson's synthesis.
