1) For the following transformations involving one elementary step each: (i) Draw &+ and 8- on the atoms that are most electron deficient or electron rich on the starting material which will help you to draw the mechanism (ii) provide mechanism arrows to describe electron flow for these transformations (ii) name the elementary steps on blanks (not as important but useful for recognition/categorization) O:CEN -I0 CN a) b) SPh SPh H-O H. d) RMi E limination CH3 O CH3 H- : Required format for multi-step mechanisms.

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.
