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.
![**Question: What is the major product of the shown reaction?**
**Reaction:**
- Starting Material:
- Structure: A phenyl group (aromatic ring) attached to a carbon-carbon triple bond linked to another phenyl group.
- Reagent: Li, ND₃ (Deuterated Ammonia).
- Products:
- A: A phenyl group attached to a single deuterium (D) linked to a second phenyl group with an ND₂ group attached.
- B: A phenyl group attached to a carbon, bonded to four deuterium atoms, linked to another phenyl group.
- C: Two phenyl groups linked together with deuterium atoms at various positions.
- D: A phenyl group with multiple deuterium atoms attached.
**Explanation:**
Deuterium (chemical symbol - D) is a heavy isotope of hydrogen.
**Options:**
1. B
2. A
3. D
4. This reaction will not happen as shown
5. C
**Analysis:**
- Assess the products formed in the reaction with Li and ND₃, focusing on which product aligns best with typical reaction pathways and mechanisms.
This exercise is aimed to test understanding of reaction mechanisms and prediction of major products through analytical determination.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F8a8bd4c6-093e-4d1c-86bd-4cc75de9936b%2F78df4a03-9a9c-470e-8bd9-3eb0e9bdf532%2Fd54i9m8k_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
