    The reaction,\[ROH+{{H}_{2}}C{{N}_{2}}\]in the presence of\[HB{{F}_{4}},\]gives the following product

    A) \[ROC{{H}_{3}}\]             

    B) \[RC{{H}_{2}}OH\]

    C)  \[ROHC{{N}_{2}}{{N}_{2}}\]      

    D) \[RC{{H}_{2}}C{{H}_{3}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     In the presence of tetrafluoroboric acid, alcohols react with diazomethane\[(C{{H}_{2}}{{N}_{2}})\]to form methyl ethers in excellent yield. \[\underset{alcohaol}{\mathop{ROH}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  diazo \\  methane \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{C{{H}_{2}}{{N}_{2}}}}\,\xrightarrow{HB{{F}_{4}}}\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  methoxy \\  ethane  \\  (ethar) \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{ROC{{H}_{3}}}}\,+{{N}_{2}}\]
