Diethyl ether

Vedclass · Answer

(C) The correct answer is $(c)$.Diethyl ether $(CH_3CH_2OCH_2CH_3)$ is resistant to nucleophilic attack by $OH^{-}$ ions because it lacks an electrophilic carbon atom that can be attacked by a nucleophile.In contrast,carboxylic acid derivatives such as methyl acetate $(CH_3COOCH_3)$ and acetamide $(CH_3CONH_2)$,as well as nitriles like acetonitrile $(CH_3CN)$,contain a carbonyl or cyano carbon atom which is electrophilic and susceptible to nucleophilic attack.Ethers are generally inert towards bases because the alkoxide ion $(RO^{-})$ is a poor leaving group.

$B$. $4$-nitroanisole	$ii$. $CH_3Cl$,anhydrous $AlCl_3$ in $CS_2$
$C$. $4$-methoxytoluene	$iii$. $Br_2$ in ethanoic acid
$D$. $4$-methoxyacetophenone	$iv$. Mixture of conc. $H_2SO_4$ and $HNO_3$
