Help with organic Lab SN2 procedure
« on: February 26, 2009, 12:43:37 PM »
In lab we have to come up with our own procedure for the synthesis of 30 mmol of benzyl t-butyl ether. The starting products are benzyl bromide and potassium tert- butoxide. I am lost and do not know where to start. I did a internet search and came across williamson ether synthesis but that is not helping me know what techniques to use. Can someone help me out????
