Best Answer

No, the R- represents a generic carbon group and the R group can be any size in length. X represents a halogen.

for example:

R-OH can be CH3CH2OH, (CH3)3COH, CH3CH=CH-OH <---There is a infinite amount of possibilities for the carbon group of which R stand for. However, the size of the R group doesn't matter the only thing that matters is that its a carbon to something bond.

Preparation of ether by williamsons synthesis?

In a Williamson synthesis, an ether is formed by reacting an alcohol and a alkyl halide in the presence of a base. To form the ether R-O-R', one starts with R-OH and R-X, where X is a halogen, typically bromine or chlorine. When mixed with the base, like NaOH, the alcohol is deprotonated, leaving a negatively charged oxygen. This acts as a nucleophile and attacks the carbon bonded to the halogen. The halogen, a good leaving group, is released, leaving behind R-O-R'. This reaction works the best when using primary alcohols and halogens, and will not go at all with tertiary alkyl halides. Ideally, the halide should be on the less substituted of the R groups.
