Reactions of Ethers

Ethers (R-O-R’) are compounds formed by replacing hydrogen atoms of an alcohol (R-OH compound) or a phenol (C6H5OH) by an aryl/ acyl group (functional group after removing single hydrogen from an aromatic ring). In this section, reaction, preparation and behavior of ethers are discussed in the context of organic chemistry.

Epoxides

Epoxides are a special class of cyclic ethers which are an important functional group in organic chemistry and generate reactive centers due to their unusual high reactivity. Due to their high reactivity, epoxides are considered to be toxic and mutagenic.

Williamson Ether Synthesis

An organic reaction in which an organohalide and a deprotonated alcohol forms ether is known as Williamson ether synthesis. Alexander Williamson developed the Williamson ether synthesis in 1850. The formation of ether in this synthesis is an SN2 reaction.

Secondary alcohols are often dehydrated in an E2 reaction to give an alkene. Elimination follows Zaitsev's rule to give the more substituted alkene as the major product. Since the reaction occurs via an E2 mechanism, there is no risk of rearrangement of the carbon skeleton as could possibly occur if the elimination occurred via an E1 mechanism with a carbocation intermediate.Draw curved arrows to show the movement of electrons in this step of the mechanism.

Chemistry Please help explain this textbook question: Although N, N -dimethylaniline is extremely reactive toward electrophilic aromatic substitution and is readily substituted by weak electrophiles, such as diazonium and nitronium ions, this reactivity is greatly diminished by the introduction of an alkyl substituent in an ortho position.
