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.
Which describes the product for the reaction shown?
1) a monosubstituted
2) a disubstituted alkene
3) a trisubstituted alkene
4) a tetrasubstituted alkene
![**Question: Which describes the product for the reaction shown?**
![Structural Diagram]
- The starting material shown is a compound with a bromine (Br) substituent attached to a three-carbon chain that forms a "Y" shape.
**Reagent**
- NaOEt (Sodium ethoxide)
**Answer Choices:**
a) a monosubstituted alkene
b) a disubstituted alkene
c) a trisubstituted alkene
d) a tetrasubstituted alkene
The problem requires understanding of the reaction mechanism and the nature of the transition from starting material to product. Sodium ethoxide (NaOEt) is a strong base, suggesting that the reaction is likely an elimination reaction, possibly E2, which will result in the formation of an alkene. The degree of substitution of the resulting alkene (monosubstituted, disubstituted, trisubstituted, or tetrasubstituted) will need to be determined based on the structure of the starting material and the position of the elimination.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F7e6a3bf8-d146-491a-b48e-eee1e364a845%2F539a94cd-54c5-4e2a-a4eb-b468ad9e1518%2Fk8p9fp_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
