Question

The following reaction does not produce an ether. Why? The alkyl halide is tertiary and will not participate in an SN2 reaction because it is too sterically hindered. NaOH is not a strong enough base for this reaction. The alcohol will react with the ammonium bromide prior to reacting with the alkyl halide. The alcohol is primary and will not participate in an Sn2 reaction. Choose the correct product of the following reaction: Choose the correct product of the following reaction: Choose the starting material that could be used to prepare this product: (Choose all correct answers) What is the role of NBu4Br in this reaction? Speeds up the precipitation of the product. Stabilizes the alkyl halide. Transfers the alkoxide from the aqueous layer to the organic layer. O Speeds up the deprotonation of the alcohol.
