Question

Second, 4-acetamidophenolate acts as an electrophile and attacks ethyl iodide to create phenacetin This is a E1 reaction This is a SN2 reaction This is a E2 reaction Potassium carbonate (K2CO3)first converts 4-acetamidophenol to 4-acetamidophenolate (an alkoxide ion) Ethyl iodide first converts 4-acetamidophenol to 4-acetamidophenolate (an alkoxide ion) This is a SN1 reaction Second, 4-acetamidophenolate acts as a nucleophile, and attacks ethyl iodide to create phenacetin In this experiment, phenacetin is made by using Williamson synthesis reaction. Choose the correct answers on how this reaction works. Note that there may be more than one correct answer.
