Please explain the steps used to get the product . Using the starting material molecule(s) provided, propose a synthesis of the target molecule using as many steps and/or reagents as necessary. 2. Write out your synthesis and include all reagents and/or reaction conditions. Answers will be graded for a) the feasibility of your synthesis and b) your justification for your proposed synthtic route. You may wish to address the following issues in your response, if they are pertinent to the reaction(s) you propose to employ: 1. Chemoselectivity (why this functional group and not another?) 2. Regioselectivity (why here and not there?) 3. Stereoselectivity (why this stereisomer?) 4. Changes in oxidation state.
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.
