Which of the following would result in butyl phenyl ether as the major product? a. Reaction of phenoxide with 1-bromobutane b. Reaction of 1-butanol with bromobenzene c. Reaction of phenyl magnesium bromide with 1-butanol d. Reaction of n-butyl magnesium bromide with phenol

Reaction of 1-butanol with bromobenzene

Explanation:

The reaction would yield ether as the major product is the reaction of the 1-butanol with bromobenzene. This is because the reaction does not have the large percentage of the undesired side product. In fact, the major product is about 85 % in composition, compared to the 15 % of the minor product. Hence, the reaction is efficient.

why do the isotopes of a particular element behave differently in nuclear reactions but the same in chemical reactions? chemical reactions involve changes to electrons in an atom; isotopes do not differ in electrons, and so they react the same way during chemical changes.
