Question

There is at least four potential nucleophiles in the reaction mixture. what are they? why does the reaction work to give primarily one isolated product? What is the purpose of washing the product with 5% NaOH (aq)?

Purpose. The conditions under which ethers are prepared are explored by the well-known Williamson ether synthesis.You will prepare alkyl aryl ethers by S 2 reactions of alkyl halides with substituted phenoxide anions. The use of phase-transfer catalysis is demonstrated.

Explanation / Answer

????purpose of washing the product with 5% NaOH is because,if excess p-cresol is remained,it can be reacted with NaOH.This will happen because p-cresol is polar.finally this will leads to separate the products.
