Prepartions of ether from mono haloalkane with dry silver oxide?

Answer 1

Silver have high affinity toward halogen. Dry silver oxide (Ag2O) reacts with two molecules of (2RX) to give ether and 2AgX. Reaction will be: 2RX + Ag2O = ROR + 2AgX

Answer 2

To prepare ether from a mono haloalkane using dry silver oxide, the mono haloalkane is first treated with dry silver oxide in an anhydrous solvent under reflux conditions. The silver oxide abstracts the halogen atom, leading to the formation of a carbocation intermediate. The carbocation intermediate then reacts with another mono haloalkane molecule via a nucleophilic substitution reaction to form the ether product.
