What is the mechanisms to get from the reactant to the products
### Functional Group Transformations This section describes typical transformations for converting functional groups in organic chemistry. #### Transformation (8) - **Starting Compound Class**: Halohydrin - **Typical Reagents and Reaction Conditions**: NaOH - **Compound Class Formed**: Epoxide In this transformation, a halohydrin reacts with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to form an epoxide. The hydroxyl group (OH) and the halogen are part of adjacent carbon atoms in the halohydrin, leading to the formation of a three-membered epoxide ring. #### Transformation (9) - **Starting Compound Class**: Alcohol - **Typical Reagents and Reaction Conditions**: \( \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \) (sulfuric acid), heat (\( \Delta \)) - **Compound Class Formed**: Ether (symmetric) This reaction involves the conversion of an alcohol into a symmetric ether using sulfuric acid and heat. The general structure of ether formed is \( R-O-R' \), where \( R \) groups are the same, signifying a symmetric ether.
