The compound shown below can be synthesised by the reaction of alkyl halide and an alkoxide in the Williamson ether synthesis via an SN2 mechanism. Identify the reagents required and use the plausible mechanism to show the product formation. Also look at the combination of alkyl halide and alkoxide chosen and explain whether or not a good yield of the product is expected. CH3 CH,CH,-0-C-CH3 ČH3
