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 will the organic product of the following reaction be? [Note stereochemistry]
**Chemical Reaction:**
- Reactants:
- A bromoalkane structure with a bromine atom (Br) attached to the main carbon chain.
- KOCH(CH₃)₂ (Potassium isopropoxide).
- Reaction Process:
The reaction is an example of a nucleophilic substitution or elimination involving a bromoalkane and a strong base.
**Instructions:**
Consider the possible organic product, keeping in mind the stereochemistry of the reactants and likely reaction mechanisms.
**Answer:**
[Provide your answer based on knowledge of substitution or elimination reactions.]](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F29cfec4b-c085-4303-a5d3-39a161ef4aea%2F8de5d52a-7275-4a25-b8ed-ce377fc3e998%2Fhv1r915_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
The reactions in which two atoms or groups attached to the carbon atom/s of the substrate molecule are eliminated are known as elimination reactions.
Generally, in elimination reactions saturated compounds are converted into unsaturated compounds.
When alkyl halides are treated with bases undergo elimination reactions by the loss of hydrogen halides (dehydrohalogenation) to form alkenes as the products.
