How can you make an ether out of a benzene? • First, convert the benzene into PHENOL with a three-step process (HNO3, Sn/HCl and NaNO2/HCl + H2O). • Then, use a super-strong base to remove the H from phenol and react it with an alkyl iodide. Nucleophilic substitution means the O will attach itself to the carbon chain while the iodide gets kicked off. • Check me out: http://www.chemistnate.com
