Chapter 11, Problem 55P

Reaction of an alcohol with thionyl chloride in the presence of a tertiary amine (e.g., pyridine) affords replacement of the OH group by CI with invention of configuration (Section 11.9). However, if the amine is omitted, the result is usually replacement with retention of configuration. The same chlorosulfite intermediate is involved in both cases. Suggest a mechanism by which this intermediate can give the chlorinated product without inversion.

a) Give the mechanistic symbols (SN1, SN2, E1, E2) that are most consistent with each of the following statements:
we know that ethers, such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, are quite resistant to the action of dilute acids and require hot concentrated HI or HBr for cleavage. However, acetals in which two ether groups are linked to the same carbon undergo hydrolysis readily, even in dilute aqueous acid. How do you account for this marked difference in chemical reactivity toward dilute aqueous acid between ethers and acetals?
Show how the following ethers might be synthesized using (1) alkoxymercuration–demercuration and (2) the Williamson synthesis. (When one of these methods cannot beused for the given ether, point out why it will not work.) thyl cyclohexyl ether
