    Ethyl chloride is converted into diethyl ether by:

    A)  Williamsons synthesis

    B)  Wurtz synthesis

    C)  Perkins reaction

    D)  Grignard reaction

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     Williamsons synthesis: It is used for the synthesis of ether. In this reaction alkyi halide reacts with sodium alkoxide to form ether, e.g., \[\underset{\text{Sodium}\,\text{ethoxide}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}-O}}\,\,\underset{\text{Ethyl}\,\text{chloride}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}}}\,\xrightarrow{{}}\] \[\underset{\text{Diethyl}\,\text{ether}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{3}}C{{H}_{2}}-O-C{{H}_{2}}}}\,C{{H}_{3}}+NaCl\]
