Chemistry - ALCOHOL & ETHER Question with Solution | TestHub

With strong bases like ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{O}}^{-}$, tert-butyl bromide undergoes elimination to form ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_2\mathrm{C}={\mathrm{CH}}_2$ but with weak nucleophiles such as ${\mathrm{CH}}_3{\mathrm{CH}}_2\mathrm{OH}$ substitution occurs to afford tert-butyl ethyl ether i.e., ${\left({\mathrm{CH}}_3\right)}_3\mathrm{C}-\mathrm{O}-{\mathrm{CH}}_2{\mathrm{CH}}_3$.
