A) Phenetole
B) Phenol
C) Ethyl phenyl alcohol
D) None of the above
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
When sodium phenoxide is heated with ethyl iodide, ethyl phenylether (phenetole) is formed. This reaction is called Williamsons synthesis. \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} ethyl \\ iodide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}I}}\,+\underset{\begin{smallmatrix} sodium \\ phenoxide \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{NaO{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,\xrightarrow[{}]{{}}\underset{phenetole}{\mathop{{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{5}}O{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{5}}}}\,+NaI\]
