$\text{C}_6\text{H}_5\text{ONa} + \text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{Cl} \rightarrow$
Answer
Answer
Official answer keyEquation: $\mathrm{C_{6}H_{5}ONa} + \mathrm{C_{2}H_{5}Cl} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C_{6}H_{5}OC_{2}H_{5}} + \mathrm{NaCl}$
Product: ethoxybenzene
Williamson synthesis: sodium phenoxide reacts with ethyl chloride to give ethoxybenzene (phenetole).
