Concept explainers

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…

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…

Textbook Question

Chapter 16, Problem 16.45P

The following bicyclic ketone has two α-carbons and three α-hydrogens. When this molecule is treated with D₂O in the presence of an acid catalyst, only two of the three α-hydrogens exchange with deuterium. The α-hydrogen at the bridgehead does not exchange.

Chapter 16, Problem 16.45P, The following bicyclic ketone has two -carbons and three -hydrogens. When this molecule is treated

How do you account for the fact that two α-hydrogens do exchange but the third does not? You will find it helpful to build models of the enols by which exchange of α-hydrogens occurs.

Definition Definition Organic compounds that have a carbonyl group, C = O, as their functional group. The carbonyl group in ketones is placed somewhere in the middle of the molecular structure, which means, the C=O is attached to two alkyl groups or benzene rings. Just like all other homologous series, the naming of ketones is done using a common suffix “-one”. The general molecular formula is C n H 2n O. Functional group of a ketone
