Identify the suitable pair of reactants for the preparation of ethyl tert-butyl ether |
Sodium ethanolate + 2-methylpropan-2-chlorade Ethyl chloride + 2-methylpropan-2-ol Ethyl chloride + sodium-2-methylpropn-2-olate Ethanol + 2-methylpropan-2-chloride |
Ethyl chloride + sodium-2-methylpropn-2-olate |
The correct answer is option 3. Ethyl chloride + sodium-2-methylpropn-2-olate. In order to obtain Ethyl tert-butyl ether, ethyl chloride needs to be treated sodium-2-methylpropn-2-olate, which will undergo nucleophilic substitution reaction.
