Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation: A stepwise mechanism for the formation of MOM ether from cyclohexanol is to be stated.

Concept introduction: An alkoxide salt is required to prepare ether. The alkoxide salts are prepared from alcohols through the Bronsted-Lowry acid-base reaction. In this reaction, NaH or NaNH2 are especially utilized, due to the by-product of the reaction (H2orNH3).

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation: The functional group that MOM ether comprises is to be identified.

Concept introduction: Acetals are the groups in which carbon atom is bonded with two OR groups through single bonds. They are used as protecting groups for aldehydes and ketones as they are stable enough in neutral to strong basic condition.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation: The other products that are formed besides cyclohexanol from the aqueous hydrolysis of the MOM ether are to be predicted, and a stepwise mechanism for the formation of each product is to be drawn.

Concept introduction: Acetals are the groups in which carbon atom is bonded with two OR groups through single bonds. They are used as protecting groups for aldehydes and ketones as they are stable enough in neutral to strong basic condition.
