10. Select reagents from the table to show how you would carry out these transformations. You should use no more than 3 steps. Enter your selection as a series of letters for the reagents in the order you would use them. HINT: Each requires 4 steps. The first step in these two syntheses requires either a 1,4-addition or allylic bromination. H3CCH=CHCH3 a. H2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2NH2 Reagents a. Br2, CH2Cl2 b. KCN, HCN C. LIAIH4 then H3O+ d. H2, Pd/C e. excess NBS, CCl4 f. excess CH3MgBr, ether then H3O+ g. H3O+, heat
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.
