Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The Williamson synthesis of $3-\text{butoxy}-1,1-\text{dimethylcyclohexane}$ from $3,3-\text{dimethylcyclohexanol}$ and $\text{butan}-1-\text{ol}$ is to be stated.

Concept introduction: The reaction of an alkoxide ion with $1°$ alkyl halide through ${\text{S}}_{\text{N}}\text{2}$ mechanism to form ether is known as Williamson reaction.

To determine: The Williamson synthesis of $3-\text{butoxy}-1,1-\text{dimethylcyclohexane}$ from $3,3-\text{dimethylcyclohexanol}$ and $\text{butan}-1-\text{ol}$.
