Chapter 13.5, Problem 7CC

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The reagents required to prepare given ether via an alkoxymercuration-demercuration need to be identified.

  ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Chapter 13.5, Problem 7CC , additional homework tip  1

Concept Introduction: In alkoxymercuration-demercuration reaction, ethers are prepared from alkene in which Markovnikov addition of alcohol takes place across an alkene. Here, -OR group is placed at a more substituted position and H is placed at a less substituted position.

The general reaction is represented as follows:
