Chapter 9, Problem 9.62P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: An explanation for the given statement that it is not possible to prepare given ether using a Williamson ether synthesis.

Concept introduction: Ethers are the most common organic products of nucleophilic substitution reaction. They are prepared from alkyl halides and strong nucleophiles. The reaction proceeds through SN2 mechanism. The highest yields of products are obtained from methyl (unhindered) and primary alkyl halides. The synthesis of ether by this route is called Williamson ether synthesis.
