Give IUPAC names of the alkyl halide and the alkoxide required for the preparation of tertiary butyl ethyl ether. Give the products formed when tertiary butyl ethyl ether is treated with an equal number of moles of HI as that of the ether

Hi student.

You have posted three questions at one. Due to length of the answer and also the shortage of time we would be able to provide you the answer of firt question only. Please post every question in separately so that we can provide you more meaningful help.

Alkyl halides are commonly designated by the formulas R-X, where R is any simple alkyl or substituted alkyl group. For example,

Substituted alkyl halides undergo, of course, the reactions characteristic of their other functional groups nitration of benzyl chloride, oxidation of ethylene bromohydrin, addition to allyl bromide but as halides they react very much like ethyl or isopropyl or-tert-butyl halides. Compounds in which halogen atom is attached directly to an aromatic ring (aryl halides, e.g., bromobenzene) differ so much from the alkyl halides in their preparation and properties that they will be discussed separately.

Thanks & Regards
