Be sure to include all reagents and the structure of any intermediates produced. bas ОН НО Show a detailed mechanism for the reaction and give the structures for each product. Label the 1,2-adduct and the 1,4-adduct and circle the major product expected under the given conditions. 40°C- high T HBr 40°C
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.
The first reaction is dihydroxylation of alkene, whereas the second one is conjugated addition reaction of diene which may yield KCP or TCP based on the reaction conditions.
