Reactions of Ethers
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…

Chapter 20, Problem 20.79P

Lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride, also known as L-selectride, is a metal hydride reagent that contains three sec-butyl groups bonded to boron. When this reagent is used to reduce cyclic ketones, one stereoisomer of ten predominates as product. Explain why the reduction of 4-tert-butylcyclohexanone with L-selectride forms the cis alcohol as the major product.

Chapter 20, Problem 20.79P, 20.76 Lithium tri-sec-butylborohydride, also known as L-selectride, is a metal hydride reagent that
