Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The major organic product that is produced during the reaction of ethylene oxide with each of the following reagents is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

>

In comparison to simple ethers, epoxides show higher reactivity towards nucleophilic reagents.

>

On reacting with anionic nucleophiles, epoxides form ring-opened products. This reaction is quite rapid and is exothermic in nature.

>

The high reactivity of epoxides towards anionic nucleophiles is due to the presence of angle strain in epoxide and this is relieved by opening of the ring.
