In Williamson's synthesis

  • an alkyl halide is treated with sodium alkoxide

  • an alkyl halide is treated with sodium

  • an alcohol is heated with cone. H2SO4  at 130°C

  • None of the above


A.

an alkyl halide is treated with sodium alkoxide

Williamson's synthesis - It is the best method for the laboratory preparation of both simple and mixed ethers and involves the action of sodium alkoxide on a suitable alkyl halide.
