Question

Feedback: You have correctly drawn the alkyl halide, but the alkoxide is missing a charge.

I have tried so many times and I still can not get it right. There is no need for Na or K in the structures.

One of the molecules shown can be made using the Williamson ether synthesis. Identify the ether and draw the
starting materials.

C
Strategy: Review the reagents, mechanism and steps of the Williamson ether synthesis. Determine which of the molecules can
be made using the steps. Then analyze the two possible disconnection strategies and deduce the starting materials. Identify the
superior route.
Step 5: Deduce the starting material from the other disconnection. Evaluate the route.
Next consider option 2.
