Question

Which of the following compounds is obtained by Williamson synthesis ?

• A. only simple ethers
• B. only mixed ethers
• C. simple and mixed ethers.
• D. esters

Hint:

Williamson synthesis uses an alkoxide and an alkyl halide, so it gives both simple and mixed ethers.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Reaction
Alkoxide plus alkyl halide gives an ether.

Step 2: Variation
Using the same alkyl group gives a simple ether, using different groups gives a mixed ether.

Step 3: Answer
Option (C).

Final Answer:
Option (C). \[ \boxed{\text{Simple and mixed ethers}} \]
