Concept explainers

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…

Textbook Question

Chapter FRP, Problem 16P

Dehydrohalogenation of meso-1, 2-dibromo-1, 2-diphenylethane by the action of sodium ethoxide in ethanol yields (E)-1-bromo-1-2-diphenylechene. Similar dehydrohalogenation of either enantiomer of 1, 2-dibromo-1, 2-diphenylechane yields (Z)-1-bromo-1, 2-diphenylethene. Provide an explanation for the results.
