Answer:
(i) To
prepare di tert-butyl ether by Williamson's synthesis, we need tert-butyl
bromide ans Sodium tertiarybutoxide. Since tert-butyl bromde
being 3°- alkyl halide prefers toundergo elimination rather than substitution,
therefore the product obtained is isobulylene rather than ditertiary butyl
ether. 3
(ii) Due to electron-withdrawing effect of the benzene
ring, the bond in
phenol is less polar but in case of methanol due to electron-donating effect of
group, bond is
more polar.
