Ethers: Assignment - Stage I Cumulative Skills Multiple Choice Questions 7

1. Ethers can be prepared by nucleophilic substitution reactions between alcohols and alkyl halides or via Grignard reagents. Crown ethers are cyclic polyether compounds used as ligands for metal cations. 2. The cleavage of aryl-alkyl ethers with cold HI yields alkyl iodides and phenols. Anisole can be prepared via Williamson synthesis using methyl iodide and sodium phenate. 3. Tert-butyl methyl ether decomposes to methyl iodide and tert-butyl chloride when heated with anhydrous HI in ether.
