A student proposes to synthesize an alkyne A₁ from a smaller alkyne A₂ and an alkyl bromide B in two steps, like so: A₂ 1. NaNHz _ 2. B A₁ Is the student's proposal reasonable? Can A₁ be made in good yield from a smaller alkyne A₂, without losing too much starting material to competing reactions that produce unwanted byproducts? If you said the student's proposal was reasonable, draw both A₂ and B in the drawing area below. If there's more than one reasonable pair of starting reactants, draw any one pair. Click and drag to start drawing a structure. X Oyes O no
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.
