III. a. CH3 CH3 CH3 In each of the following pairs of elimination reactions, circle the reaction that will give the product shown in the lowest yield. You may assume that equal amounts of starting materials were used in each pair of reactions and that other reaction conditions (time, temperature, etc) are the same unless indicated. In addition, explain why the reaction you circled gives the lower yield. Be sure to state the mechanism in your explanation. Xoo b. (hint: look at the chair conformations) ...Br NH₂ Br
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.
