Complete the following reaction sequence.



Structure of compounds A, B and C in the above reaction sequence are:



Acetone reacts with Grignard reagent followed by hydrolysis to form 2-Methylpropane-2-ol.


2-Methylpropane-2-ol then reacts with sodium metal in the presence of ether to form sodium tert-butoxide.


Sodium tert-butoxide is then allowed to react with CH3-Br to produce 2-Methyl-2-methoxypropane. This is called Williamson’s synthesis of ether.
