Question
Chapter 11.14, Problem 11.33P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The identification of incorrect step in the synthesis of ethyl methyl ether is to be predicted.
Concept introduction:
Sodium methoxide is a strong base. The methoxide ion can only abstract proton from methyl group. Also Williamson synthesis of ethyl methyl ether required more hindered alkoxide like

Wittig synthesis of the compound below involve using: 1)cyclohexanone and ethyl bromide
Draw structural formulas for the alkoxide ion and the alkyl(aryl)bromide that may be used in a Williamson synthesis of the ether shown.
Please give a clear and detailed image.
For butenafine, develop a synthesis that starts with napthalene and benzene.
(aromatic methyl groups can be converted to alkyl bromides using Br2/light, and aldehydes by heating the alkyl bromide in DMSO, eg. ArCH3 to ArCH2Br then to ArCHO).
