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 8, Problem 72DSP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The product of the given solvomercuration-demercuration is to be determined.

Concept introduction:

Oxymercuration-demercuration is overall hydration of an alkene according to the Markovnikov’s rule.

In the major product, the hydroxyl group gets attached to that double bonded carbon atom which has less hydrogens attached.

There is no possibility of carbocation rearrangements in this reaction.

If an alcohol is used as a component of the solvent mixture instead of water, the product formed has an alkoxy group attached instead of a hydroxyl group.

The alcohol serves as the nucleophile in this solvomercuration stage.

What is the pH of a 1.0 L buffer made with 0.300 mol of HF (Ka = 6.8 × 10⁻⁴) and 0.200 mol of NaF to which 0.160 mol of NaOH were added?
Can I please get help with this.
Determine if the following salt is neutral, acidic or basic. If acidic or basic, write the appropriate equilibrium equation for the acid or base that exists when the salt is dissolved in aqueous solution. If neutral, simply write only NR. Be sure to include the proper phases for all species within the reaction. N₂H₅ClO₄
