Retrograde Synthesis Assignment IF Outline a synthesis of the following molecules starting with ethyne and CH₂12 as the only carbon sources and any needed inorganic reagents. Obviously more than one ethyne molecule is needed for each of the syntheses. -CH₂ CH Ar HI C Hill C CH3 -CH₂ CH3 H₂ H₂ -CH₂ H₂C-CH₂ Hill C -CH₂ H₂C H₂ H₂CC H₂ CH H₂C- H₂C- CH3 H₂C HIC -CH₂ CH3
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.
