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.
Question
![**Problem:**
**Draw the structural formula of the product of the reaction shown below.**
\[ \text{Cyclopentane ring} + \text{CH}_3CH_2OH \xrightarrow{\text{Na, OCH}_2CH_3} \]
**Note:**
* You do not have to consider stereochemistry.
**Graph/Diagram Description:**
- There is a diagram of the starting material that features a cyclopentane ring, depicted as a five-membered carbon ring.
- The reactants include ethanol (\(\text{CH}_3CH_2OH\)) and sodium ethoxide (\(\text{Na}\text{OCH}_2\text{CH}_3\)).
- An empty drawing area is provided for users to sketch the structural formula of the product. This area is indicated by a ChemDoodle interface with various drawing tools and options.
**Instructions:**
1. Below the diagram, users are prompted with a drawing area utilizing ChemDoodle software where they can sketch the resulting product.
2. The interface offers chemical drawing tools, elements, geometric shapes, arrows, and other useful tools essential for illustrating the chemical structure.
3. The structural formula does not require consideration of stereochemistry, indicating that geometrical or chiral specifics may be ignored in the drawing.
**Additional Features:**
- The submission interface includes options to **Submit Answer** or **Retry Entire Group**, with a note indicating **9 more group attempts remaining**.
- Navigation buttons for **Previous** and **Next** steps are present, along with a **Save and Exit** button.
**Footer Information:**
The educational resource is provided by **Cengage Learning**, and technical support options are available through **Cengage Technical Support**. A status bar at the bottom indicates the current browser and time settings on the user’s device.
**Support:**
- For any issues regarding the drawing or submission process, users are suggested to refer to the Cengage Learning technical support.
**Important to Note:**
- Ensure clarity and accuracy of the structural formula.
- Review the reaction mechanism if unsure about the product before submitting the answer.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff3c10dfd-3cfe-46dc-bd18-17610195b924%2Fc7d1c5ed-bfbe-4723-888e-47052137c986%2Ffe6ntu6_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
