Concept explainers

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.

I need specific description of the compounds involved in the synthesis (functional groups, specific features). and also describe the steps involved in the synthesis and the role of each step. And most important！！devote one to each step of the synthesis. Each step should clearly indicate the reagent used, the stereochemistry involved in the reaction and its importance or relevance to the multistep synthesis
we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?
66) Which of the following statements is false? Reactions following Markonikov’s Rule, form the less substituted carbocation. In the acid-catalyzed hydration of alkenes, many times a carbocation rearranges to form a more stable structure. Alkoxides, hydroxide anion, and Grignard reagent, are ALL classified as strong nucleophiles. None of the above.
3-Bromocyclohexene is a secondary halide, and benzyl bromide is a primary halide. Both halides undergo SN1 substitution about as fast as most tertiary halides. Use resonance structures to explain this enhanced reactivity.
Draw the major organic product you would expect to isolate from the reaction of p-bromoethoxybenzene with a misture of HNO3HNO3 and H2SO4H2SO4.
The reaction of 1-iodopropane with potassium thiocyanate (KSCN) in certain solvents results in the formation of two isomeric products, propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate (see scheme below), via the SN2 reaction mechanism. Attempts to prepare a similar mixture of these same isomeric products (propylthiocyanate and propylisothiocyanate) starting from 1-propene is illustrated below. Despite the strong acidity of thiocyanic acid (recall pKa = 1.1), this addition reaction does not lead to either of the products indicated. Based on your knowledge of alkene addition reactions, explain this experimental result.
Suggest a possible reason for the following observations: (i) The order of reactivity of haloalkanes is RI > RCl > RBr. (ii) Neopentyl chloride (CH3)3CCH2Cl does not follow SN2 mechanism. (iii) Ethers have low boiling points.

How is the mechanism for oxymercuration/demercuration reactions of alkenes understood? How are the (Markovnikov) products predicted and what reagents would you need to use to incorporate this reaction into a multistep synthesis strategy.

The Williamson ether synthesis involves treatment of a haloalkane with a metal alkoxide. Following are two reactions intended to give benzyl tert-butyl ether.
