Draw curved arrows to depict the formation of the keto form of an enolate ion via a strong base, represented by B. Complete the resonance structures of the enolate anion's keto and enolate forms with bonds, charges, and nonbonding electron pairs. Use curved arrows to show how the keto form resonates to the enolate form. Step 1: Add curved arrows to show the formation of the keto form. Step 2: Complete the resonance structure of the keto form, then add curved arrows. Select Draw Rings More Select DrawRings More Erase Erase H В H B : в BH Step 3: Complete the resonance structure of the enolate form. Omit curved arrows. Select Draw Rings More Erase H B BH 1L
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.
