Di-tert-butyl ether

Vedclass · Answer

(D) Williamson synthesis involves the reaction of an alkoxide ion with an alkyl halide. $S_N2$ mechanism is preferred for this reaction. Tertiary alkyl halides undergo elimination reactions rather than substitution when treated with strong bases like alkoxides. Therefore,di-tert-butyl ether cannot be prepared by this method because it would require the reaction of sodium tert-butoxide with tert-butyl halide,which leads to the formation of isobutylene via an elimination reaction.
