(a)
Interpretation:
The synthesis of ether,
Concept introduction:
The treatment of alcohols with dilute sulfuric acid in the presence of excess ethanol leads to the formation of ether as a product. In this reaction, a stable carbocation is formed as an intermediate after the removal of a water molecule. Therefore, the carbocation attacked by the ethanol group forms ether.
(b)
Interpretation:
The synthesis of ether,
Concept introduction:
The treatment of alcohols with dilute sulfuric acid in the presence of excess ethanol leads to the formation of ether as a product. In this reaction, a stable carbocation is formed as an intermediate after the removal of a water molecule. Therefore, the carbocation attacked by the ethanol group forms ether.
(c)
Interpretation:
The synthesis of ether,
Concept introduction:
The treatment of alcohols with dilute sulfuric acid in the presence of excess ethanol leads to the formation of ether as a product. In this reaction, a stable carbocation is formed as an intermediate after the removal of a water molecule. Therefore, the carbocation attacked by the ethanol group forms ether.
(d)
Interpretation:
The synthesis of dibutyl ether using either alcohol dehydration or alkene addition is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The treatment of alcohols with dilute sulfuric acid in the presence of excess ethanol leads to the formation of ether as a product. In this reaction, a stable carbocation is formed as an intermediate after the removal of a water molecule. Therefore, the carbocation attacked by the ethanol group forms an ether.
