Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

• To prepared isopropyl propyl ether via an alkoxymercuration-demercuration has to be explained.  

Concept Introduction:

The Williamson ether synthesis is a reaction to converts alcohols $\left(\text{R-OH}\right)$ into ethers $\left(\text{R-O-R}\right)\text{.}$ the first step in this reaction is forming the conjugate base of the alcohol (called an alcoxide) by reacting the alcohol among sodium metal. This reaction forms hydrogen gas $\left({\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\right)$ as a biproduct.

The oxy-mercuration reaction is an electrophilic calculation organic reaction that transforms an alkene into a neutral alcohol. Oxy-mercuration followed by reductive demercuration is called an oxymercuration–demercuration reaction.

Anti-Markovnikov rule describes the regiochemistry somewhere the substituent is bonded to a fewer substituted carbon, quite than the more substitued carbon. This process is quite abnormal, as carboncations which are usually formed through alkene, or alkyne reactions tend to help the more substitued carbon.
