Williamson's synthesis involves
- A \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 1\) mechanism
- B nucleophilic addition
- C \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) mechanism
- D \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{E}}\) mechanism
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C) \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) mechanism
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
When sodium or potassium alkoxide is heated with an alkyl halide to give ether, this reaction is known as Williamson's synthesis.
\(
R \mathrm{ONa}+R^{\prime} X \longrightarrow R-\mathrm{O}-R^{\prime}+\mathrm{Na} X
\)
This is an example of nucleophilic substitution and follow \(\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{N}} 2\) mechanism.
