In an experiment to produce methyl tert-butyl ether, a student attempted the synthesis process by using sodium methoxide and tert-butyl halide. With your knowledge in organic chemistry, justify whether the student able to obtain the desired product or not. Provide mechanistic explanations on your justification and propose a better synthesis process to produce methyl tert-butyl ether. Your justification and suggestion should consist of the following: • The chemical components involve, and products produced Curve arrows to indicate the movement of electrons • Type of proposed reaction and its characteristic • Detail mechanism including formation of transition state or intermediate • Energy diagram of your proposed reaction, considering your reaction is an exothermic reaction.
