Answer:
Iodoethane and isopentanol.
Explanation:
Hello,
This is a case in which the Williamson ether synthesis is carried out by the reaction between the alcoxide's anion and an alkyl halide (more reactive towards the substitution). In such a way, on the attached picture, you will find the necessary chemical reaction which involves iodoethane and isopentanol as the set of reactants to obtain the shown ether ethyl isopentyl ether and hydrogen iodide as a side product.
Best regards.
