Draw the products of the following reactions. It will help to start by drawing the reactants. You might need to look up the structures of some reagents If multiple stereoisomers are produced, please draw ALL of the products. (S)-4-bromo-2-methylhexane and potassium cyanide in DMF (R)-3-iodo-3-methylhexane in refluxing ethanol (S)-2-chlorobutane and sodium acetate in DMSO 1-bromopropane and methylamine in acetonitrile
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.
