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.

Alcohols are important for organic synthesis, especially in situations involving alkenes. The alcohol might be the desired product, or the OH group might be transformed into another functional group via halogenation, oxidation, or perhaps conversion to a sulfonic ester derivative. Formation of an alcohol from an alkene is particularly powerful because conditions can be chosen to produce either the Markovnikov or non-Markovnikov product from an unsymmetrical alkene. Using your reaction roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 4-methyl-1-pentene into 5-methylhexanenitrile. You must use 4-methyl-1-pentene and sodium cyanide as the source of all carbon atoms in the target molecule. Show all reagents needed and all molecules synthesized along the way.

Draw the product of the oxidation of the organoborane formed in Step 1. Include lone pairs and nonzero formal charges. 2. Draw the more stable tautomer that is the final product. Include lone pairs and nonzero formal charges.
Which of the following statements is correct? Hydroboration-oxidation reactions of alkenes involve rearrangement of carbocations. Reduction of trialkylborane in hydroboration-oxidation of alkenes involves hydrogen peroxide. Perhydroxy ion acts as an electrophile as it attacks trialkylborane in hydroboration-oxidation reactions of alkenes. Trialkylborane undergoes one round of oxidation to produce 2 moles of alcohol. None of the above. Both the 2nd and the 3rd statements are correct.

Do hydration reactions like this one have Markovnikov and anti-Markovnikov products? I know that for addition of halides on alkene double bonds, there are Markovnikov products becasue of 1,2-halide/methyl shifts, but there usually aren't shifts in hydration reactions. Essentially, would the Markovnikov/major product for this reaction have a hydroxy group attached to the tertiary carbocation and the anti-Markovnikov/minor product for this reaction have a hydroxy group attached to the adjacent secondary carbocation?
Give the alkene and reagent that are needed to synthesize the following compound
Which of the following statements is correct? Acid-catalyzed hydration of an alkene does not undergo carbocation rearrangement. Acid-catalyzed hydration of an alkene follows Markonikov's Rule. In Markonikov's Rule, H adds to carbon atom with less H atoms. Alkanes can also undergo acid-catalyzed hydration to produce diols. None of the above. Both the 2nd and the 4th statements.
