Answered by GK
Butyl chloride and sodium methoxide (find them) is your best bet.
Answered by GK
In my previous answer I meant that <b>butyl bromide</b> not butyl chloride, reacting with sodium methoxide would produce the ether 1-methoxybutane, or methylbuthyl ether. The reagent, butyl bromide is also called 1-bromobutane in the IUPAC system of naming organic compounds.
