Identify the structural explanations for the relative rates of reactivity for compounds 5, 6, and 7. effects. The cyano group than the acetoxy (OAc) group in compound 4. The substituents in compounds 5, 6 and 7 affect the alkene reactivity primarily by (CN) group in 6 must be a stronger Steric effects are likely a contributing factor in compound Identify the correct structural explanation for the relative rates of reactivity for compounds 2, 8, and 9. O Compounds 8 and 9 are disubstituted alkenes. The lowest relative reactivity is due to increased steric effects. O Compound 2 is the only mono-substituted alkene with no significant electronic effects. O In compound 9, the electron-withdrawing effect of the chlorine atom is superimposed upon the increased steric effect which further lowers the reactivity. O All the above.
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.
