Q15 / 180 · COMEDK 2018 · Chemistry
The reaction $\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{ONa}+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{I} \longrightarrow$
$\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}+\mathrm{NaI}$ is known as
- AKolbe's synthesis
- BWurtz's synthesis
- Correct answerCWilliamson's synthesis
- DGrignard's synthesis
Solution
Williamson ether synthesis is an organic reaction, forming an ether from alkyl halide and deprotonated alcohol i.e.
$\mathrm{CiH}_{2} \mathrm{ONa}+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{I} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{OC}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5}+\mathrm{NaI}$
Sodium ethoxide+Ethane iodide $\longrightarrow$ Ethoxycthane (ester)
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
