Draw and name all products generated when HCI is reacted with 2-chloroprop-1-ene. Indicate which is the major product and explain why. Draw and name the major product resulting from the mono-bromination of nitrobenzene. Explain why the structure you have drawn is the major product of the reaction. Draw and name the structure of the major bromination product of m-dinitrobenzene acid. Explain why the structure you have drawn is the major product of the reaction.
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 behavior of ethers are discussed in the context of organic chemistry.
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.
