State ethers can be prepared by sn2 attack of an alkoxide

Reference no: EM13175011

1) Ethers can be prepared by SN2 attack of an alkoxide ion on a alkyl halide. Suppose you wanted to prepare cyclohexyl methyl ether, shown below, using the SN2 reaction

a) There are two possible routes, using an alkyl bromide and an alkoxide ion. Draw both of these routes. (I do not want a mechanism, just products to reactants!)

b) Which of the two routes will provide the maximum amount of ether product?
