e)

Short answer

e) The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,

Step-by-step solution

Concept

The bromination reaction is the process by which one or more bromine atoms are added to a chemical. Halogen reaction is also include bromination reactions.

Any chemical reaction is referred to as a substitution reaction if one functional group is replaced or substituted with different functional group.

Step 2:

In the 1^st step cyclohexane is converted to cyclohexyl bromide (Refer:971371-6-46P-a)

In the second step, cyclohexyl bromide is converted to cyclohexanol (Refer:971371-6-46P-b)

In the third step, by using metallic sodium, the compound’s cyclohexanol ring is transformed into an alkoxide anion.

Step 3:

In the last step the Methoxy cyclohexane is produced when alkoxide anion works as a nucleophile to remove the bromide anion from methyl bromide.

The synthesis reaction of given compound is as follows,
