When hexan-1-ol is treated with conc. H₂SO₄ at moderate temperatures, Di-n-hexyl ether is formed via SN₂ mechanism.
SN₂ Mechanism is mechanism involving the factors of steric hindrance following the order of 1° > 2° > 3°. It is a Nucleophilic substitution reaction.
Williamson Ether Synthesis is the synthesis of ether through SN₂ mechanism in which an ether is treated with conc. H₂SO₄ at moderate temperature.
When hexan-1-ol is treated with conc. H₂SO₄ at moderate temperatures, Di-n-hexyl ether is formed as below:
CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OH +Conc. H₂SO₄-->(CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂)₂0
Hexan-1-ol Di-n-hexyl ether
Williamson Ether Synthesis is a reaction involving a alcohol that is deprotonated to form an ether.
