Answer:
D) sodium t-butoxide + bromomethane
Explanation:
The alkoxide ion is a strong nucleophile, that unlike alcohols, will react with primary alkyl halides to form ether. This general reaction is known as <em>the Williamson synthesis</em>, and is a SN₂ displacement. The alkyl halide must be primary so the back side attack is not hindered, and the alkoxide ion must be formed with the most hindered group.
The mechanism can be seen in the attachment.
Answer:
The simplified mechanism and products are on the picture.
Explanation:
If we have the symmetrical alkene the addition of mercury and OH group is not regioselective but when we have more donors for one of Carbons in alkene then the OH group will go there.
