The most common method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical ethers is the Williams

Question

The most common method for the synthesis of unsymmetrical ethers is the Williamson synthesis, a reaction (SN2) of an alkoxide ion with an alkyl halide. Two pathways are possible, but often one is preferred. Construct the preferred pathway for the synthesis of 2-propoxypropane from propene, with propene-derived alkyl halide and alkoxide intermediates, by dragging the appropriate compounds into their bins and selecting the reagents from the drop-down list.

***I also need reagent one and reagent two!

Thanks!

Explanation / Answer

Reagent 1: Ch3CO3H Product 1: The Epoxide Reagent 2: HBr ROOR Product 2: CH3CH2CH2Br Reagent 3: NaAlH4 Product 3: Sodium ion with Oxygen on the Y-like structure.
