Question

What happens when (write chemical equations only) n-propyl bromide is treated with sodium ethoxide?

Answer 1

\[\mathrm{\underset{\text{n-propyl bromide}}{{{CH_3CH_2CH_2Br}}}} + \mathrm{\underset{\text{sodium ethoxide}}{{C_2H_5O^-Na^+}}}\rightarrow \mathrm{\underset{\text{n-propyl ethyl ether}}{{{{CH_3CH_2CH_2OC_2H_5}}}}} + \mathrm{NaBr}\]
