Draw structural formulas for the products of the reaction shown below. CH3 1 H3C-O-CCH₂CH3 + HBr - - I CH3 • You do not have to consider stereochemistry. • Assume equimolar amounts of the reagents. • Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner. . Separate multiple products using the + sign from the drop-down menu.
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.

### Topic: Organic Chemistry - Reaction Mechanisms
**Task: Structural Formula Annotation**
**Instructions:**
1. **Reaction Information:**
- **Reactants:**
- Organic compound:
\[
\begin{aligned}
& \quad \quad \quad \quad | \\
\text{CH}_3 - \text{C}(\text{CH}_3) - \text{CH}_2 - \text{O} - \text{CH}_3 + \text{HBr} \quad \longrightarrow
\end{aligned}
\]
- **Products:**
- To be determined during the exercise.
2. **Assumptions:**
- You do not need to consider stereochemistry.
- Assume equimolar amounts of the reagents.
3. **Drawing Guidelines:**
- Draw one structure per sketcher. Add additional sketchers using the drop-down menu in the bottom right corner.
- Separate multiple products using the “+” sign from the drop-down menu.
### Interactive Drawing Tool:
The provided interactive tool (ChemDoodle) allows you to draw the structural formulas of the products of the given reaction. Use the tools provided in the drawing interface to sketch the products accurately.
### Additional Instructions:
- **Toolbar Explanation:**
- The toolbar includes options to draw bonds, atoms, and more.
- Use the eraser tool to correct mistakes and the selection tool to adjust your drawing.
- **Graphical Interface:**
- A large blank canvas is provided where you can create your drawings.
- Use the navigation options to create new sketchers if multiple products are formed.
