2) ) Draw a perspective diagram (dashwedge) of (S)-1-bromo-1-fuoroethane Only use dashwedge for the chirality center, and show your CIP. priorities to prove the (S)- designation ) Draw a detailed mechanism showing the formation of the major productis) of the reaction betwoen (S)-1-bromo-1-fuoroethane and sodium methoxide (NaOCH, the Na" is a spectator) Please be sure to include all structures (use perspective diagrams as appropriate to illustrate the storeochemistry of the process), resonance forms, intermediates, transition states, curved arrows, formal charges, or lone pairs as necessary. iI) Please redraw your product(s) below and assign (R/S) to the chirality center(s) therein (please show your CIP priorities). Is the mechanism Sy1 or S2, and what is the overall stereochemistry associated with the process? Why is this an interesting case?
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.
