Question
Consider the Williamson ether synthesis between 2-naphthol and 1-bromobutane in strong base. OH Br NaOH heat 2-naphthol 144.2 g/mol 1-bromobutane 137.0 g/mol d = 1.27 g/mL 2-butoxynaphthalene 200.2 g/mol A reaction was performed in which 0.45 g of 2-naphthol was reacted with a slight excess of 1-bromobutane to make 0.26 g of 2-butoxynaphthalene. Calculate the theoretical yield and percent yield for this reaction.

Expert Solution
Step 1

144.2g of C10H8O reacted to produce 200.2g C13H12O

Therefore,0.45g of C13H12O produce 

=0.45*200.2/144.2=0.625g

Hence,theoritical yield is 0.625g of C13H12O
