To determine: The formation of given ether in good yield by condensation of the corresponding alcohol and the alternative method for the ether that cannot be prepared by the condensation of the alcohols.
Interpretation: The formation of given ether in good yield by condensation of the corresponding alcohol and the alternative method for the ether that cannot be prepared by the condensation of the alcohols is to be identified.
Concept introduction: In a condensation reaction, two molecules join together to form a large molecule with the removal of small molecule such as water.

Caprolactamarrow_forwardIndustiral Chemistry Both Tetraethyl lead and methyl-t-butyl ether have been removed from or in the process of being removed from the gasoline additive industry. Explain why each of these compounds were used so highly, and why each is considered dangerous.arrow_forward1. The acid-catalyzed elimination of an alcohol is an equilibrium reaction and requires special reac- tion conditions to favour the formation of the alkene product. What chemical principle controls the amount of alkene product that is produced? Provide two laboratory techniques that can be used to obtain good alkene yields in alcohol elimination reactions.arrow_forward
- An ether has a lower boiling point than an aldehyde of the same mass (or number of C atoms). Why is this? a. the ether, containing a carbonyl group, interacts more strongly (ether molecule to ether molecule) than does an aldehyde (molecule to molecule), b. The ether, with its single O atom, can H bond to only 2 water molecules. c. The ether, with its single O atom and no attached H atom, does not form H bonds and does not have a dipole for dipole/dipole interaction. d. All of the above.arrow_forwardCis-but-2-ene has a different set of properties compared to trans-but-2-ene. the melting points of these two compounds is influence primarily by what factor? a. Dipole moment b. Hydrogen Bonding c. Symmetry of molecule d. Van de Waals interaction Which electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction is described when aniline is transformed into para-aminotolouene? a. Halogenation b. Nitration c. Oxidation d. Friedel Crafts alkylation The following hydrocarbons will exhibit electrophilic reactions (addition or substitution) involving halogens except: a. ethyne b. ethene c. ethane d. benzenearrow_forwardAldehydes and ketones react with one molecule of an alcohol to form compounds called hemiacetals, in which there is one hydroxyl group and one ether-like group. Reaction of a hemiacetal with a second molecule of alcohol gives an acetal and a molecule of water. We study this reaction in Chapter 16. Draw structural formulas for the hemiacetal and acetal formed from these reagents. The stoichiometry of each reaction is given in the problem.arrow_forward

They are fairly unreactive to most dilute acids and bases B. They are fairly unreactive to most dilute oxidizing and reducing agents C. Most organic compounds are soluble in ethers D. They are capable of forming hydrogen bonding because they contain at least one hydrogen atom connected directly to an electronegative atom (such as O-H or N-H bonds) E. none of the abovearrow_forward
