Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R) Assertion (A) : Synthesis of ethyl phenyl ether may be achieved by Williamson synthesis. Reason (R): Reaction of bromobenzene with sodium ethoxide yields ethyl phenyl ether. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
 
Option: 1 Both (A) and (R) are correct but (R) is NOT the correct explanation of (A)
Option: 2 (A) is correct but (R) is not correct
Option: 3 (A) is not correct but (R) is correct
Option: 4 Both (A) and (R) are correct and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

Ethyl Phenyl ether can be prepared using Williamson's synthesis as

\therefore  Assertion (A) is correct .

Now, reaction of bromobenzene and sodium ethoxide does not take place as there is a partial double bond character between the Benzene ring and the halogen and as a result, it is difficult for the substitution reaction to take place.



\therefore  Reason (R) is not correct .

Hence, the correct answer is option (2)
