The reaction CH₃—C—ONa + CH₂CH₂Cl → CH₃—C—O—CH₂—CH₃ is called:

1. Williamson continuous etherification process
2. Etard reaction
3. Gattermann-Koch reaction
4. Williamson Synthesis

Correct answer: Williamson Synthesis

Solution

The reaction involves the formation of an ether (CH₃—C—O—CH₂—CH₃) from an alkoxide (CH₃—C—ONa) and an alkyl halide (CH₂CH₂Cl), which is characteristic of the Williamson Synthesis.
