When a mixture of calcium benzoate and calcium acetate is dry distilled, the resulting compound is :
acetophenone
benzaldehyde
benzophenone
acetaldehyde
Anisole can be prepared by the action of methyl iodide on sodium phenate. The reaction is called
Wurtz 's reaction
Williamson's reaction
Fittig's reaction
Etard's reaction
B.
Williamson's reaction
The reaction of alkyl halide with sodium alkoxide to give ether (alkoxy alkane), is known as Williamson's synthesis. In this reaction an ether (anisole) is prepared by the action of alkyl halide (methyl iodide) on sodium allkoxide (sodium phenate), so it is an example of Williamson's synthesis.
