Which one of the following reactions will not lead to the desired ether formation in major proportion?
(iso- $\displaystyle \mathrm{Bu} \Rightarrow$ isobutyl, sec- $\displaystyle \mathrm{Bu} \Rightarrow$ sec-butyl, $\displaystyle \mathrm{nPr} \Rightarrow \mathrm{n}$-propyl,
$\displaystyle { }^{\mathrm{t}} \mathrm{Bu} \Rightarrow$ tert-butyl, $\displaystyle \mathrm{Et} \Rightarrow$ ethyl)
Official answer
From NTA’s final answer key for this paper.
(2)
iso- $\displaystyle \mathrm{Bu} \stackrel{-}{\mathrm{O}} \stackrel{+}{\mathrm{N}} a+$ sec $\displaystyle -\mathrm{BuBr} \longrightarrow$ sec- $\displaystyle \mathrm{Bu}-\mathrm{O}-$ iso- Bu
