Complete the following reactions

Expert Solution

Step 1

The reactions between the given alkyl halide with the two reagents are described below.

Step 2

When sodium tert-butoxide is reacted with an alkyl halide, the bulky tert-butoxide ion acts as a base and results in an elimination reaction that forms the least substituted alkene. However, in the case of a primary alkyl halide, a substitution reaction is expected to occur. Here, the electrophilic carbon is not hindered much.

Similarly, sodium 2-butanolate also results in a substitution reaction.

In both cases, ether is formed.
