Concept explainers
As we will learn in Chapter 9, an epoxide is an ether with an oxygen atom in a three-membered ring.
Assume that each of the following starting materials can be converted to an epoxide by this reaction. Draw the product formed (including stereochemistry) from each starting material. Why might some of these reactions be more difficult than others in yielding nucleophilic substitution products?
