Vedclass · Answer

(A) The reaction sequence is as follows:$1$. Phenol $(C_6H_5OH)$ reacts with sodium $(Na)$ to form sodium phenoxide $(X = C_6H_5ONa)$ and hydrogen gas.$C_6H_5OH + Na \rightarrow C_6H_5ONa + \frac{1}{2}H_2$$2$. Sodium phenoxide $(C_6H_5ONa)$ then reacts with ethyl chloride $(CH_3-CH_2-Cl)$ via a Williamson ether synthesis mechanism to form phenetole (ethoxybenzene) $(Y = C_6H_5-O-CH_2-CH_3)$.$C_6H_5ONa + CH_3-CH_2-Cl \rightarrow C_6H_5-O-CH_2-CH_3 + NaCl$

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ $CH_3-O-CH_3$	$(1)$ $C_6H_5OH + CH_3I$
$(B)$ $(CH_3)_2CH-O-CH_3$	$(2)$ $(CH_3)_3C-I + CH_3OH$
$(C)$ $(CH_3)_3C-O-CH_3$	$(3)$ $C_6H_5I + CH_3OH$
$(D)$ $C_6H_5-O-CH_3$	$(4)$ $CH_3OH + CH_3I$
	$(5)$ $(CH_3)_2CHOH + CH_3I$
	$(6)$ $(CH_3)_2CH-I + CH_3OH$
	$(7)$ $(CH_3)_3COH + CH_3I$
