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.
![# Exercise: Resonance - Aromatic Substitution
## Objective
Understand the resonance structures involved in the nitration of anisole.
## Description
The diagram shows the nitration of anisole (methoxybenzene) in the ortho position, which involves a carbocation intermediate with four resonance structures.
## Reaction
Anisole reacts with nitric acid (HNO₃) to form a para nitro product:
\[ \text{CH}_3\text{O}\underbrace{\text{(benzene ring)}} + \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{O}\underbrace{\text{(benzene ring)}}\text{NO}_2 \, (\text{para product}) \]
- **Reactant**: Anisole
- **Reagent**: Nitric acid (HNO₃)
- **Product**: Para-nitroanisole
## Instructions
Complete one of the resonance structures by dragging bonds, electrons, and charges to the appropriate locations.
**Note**: Be sure to include the electrons on the methoxy oxygen.
