Chemistry - ALCOHOL & ETHER Question with Solution | TestHub

In Williamson's synthesis,
i.$1^{°}$alkyl halide and$3^{°}$alkoxide give best yield of corresponding ethers.
ii. In case of,$3^{°}$alkyl halide, elimination competes over substitution and alkene is obtained as a product.
iii. Aryl halides do not undergo nucleophilic substitution unless it is activated by the presence of electron withdrawing group. Thus,${\left({\text{C}}_6{\text{H}}_5\right)}_2\text{O}$and${\left({\text{CH}}_3\right)}_3\text{C}-\text{O}-\text{C}{\left({\text{CH}}_3\right)}_3$cannot be prepared by Williamson's synthesis.
