(R)-3-chloro-2-methylhexane may undergo a nucleophilic substitution reaction in the presence of sodium ethoxide and ethanol. Complete the mechanism and draw the products of the reaction. Draw all missing reactants and/or products in the appropriate boxes by placing atoms on the grid and connecting them with bonds and including charges where needed. Indicate the mechanism by drawing the electron-flow arrows on the molecules. Arrows should start on an atom or a bond and should end on an atom, bond, or where a new bond should be created.

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.
