2. Predict the products and draw the mechanism of the reaction below showing any relevant transition states. Additionally, name the reactant and the product properly indicating stereochemistry. S Br NaOEt DMSO No.02t> [O CIS Dr 4E+0 transition state -> сиз (3)-3-methyl cyclohexene 125)-1-Lramo-2-methyl cyclohexame 3. Changing the conditions of the reaction in the previous question to an ethanol solvent gives several products in addition to the one predicted above. Draw these products.
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.
