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.
![**Part 2. Predict the Organic Products.**
Predict the major organic product(s) for each of the following reactions. Be sure to show stereochemistry when appropriate.
The structure shown is a cyclohexene with a methyl group attached. The reaction involves two steps:
1) Reaction with ozone (O₃).
2) Reduction with dimethyl sulfide ((CH₃)₂S).
**Explanation of Reaction:**
This is an ozonolysis reaction. In the first step, ozone cleaves the double bond, forming an ozonide intermediate. In the second step, dimethyl sulfide reduces the ozonide to form two carbonyl compounds. The expected products from this transformation are likely aldehydes or ketones, depending on the original substitution pattern around the double bond. In this case, the cyclohexene with a methyl group will yield two distinct carbonyl compounds.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Fdc7098a4-7e9d-4718-b1b7-d54351cff1ff%2F73e134e5-b0d5-4bed-9033-8d50a42ae452%2Fdqtrgzb_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
