STANDARD Chemistry Ether Reactions MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium
Diethyl ether when refluxed with excess of HI gives two molecules of (i). Ethers can be most commonly prepared by reaction of (ii) and (iii). The method is called (iv). (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) respectively are
A
ethyl iodide, sodium alkoxide, alkyl halide, Williamson's synthesis
B
ethanol, alcohol, alkyl halide, substitution
C
methyl iodide, Grignard's reagent, alkyl halide, Williamson's synthesis
D
ethyl iodide, phenol, ethyl iodide, esterification
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Diethyl ether reacts with HI to form ethyl iodide. Ethers are commonly prepared by Williamson's synthesis, which involves the reaction of an alkyl halide with a sodium alkoxide.
