Preparation of Ethers The Williamson Ether synthesis (review; p 642) o Alkoxide + 1° RX From Alkenes with alkoxymercuration-demercuration (review; p653) From self-condensation of alcohols (limitations) 3. Preparation of Thioethers 4. Preparation of Epoxides (review; Section 4.8) Epoxides from Alkenes with peroxyacids RCO3H via intra-molecular Williamson Enantioselective Sharpless Epoxidation (p653) 5. Reactivity of Ethers Inert under Basic Conditions Cleavage under highly Acidic conditions ( SN1 for 2° and 3°) o Mechanism: alkonium ion as leaving group o Rearrangement ii. With HX (HBr, HI) : iii. With H2SO4, H2O or H2SO4, ROH Note: Book omits hydrolysis of ether with hydronium ion generated by sulfuric acid in water- you must know this reaction! Autooxidation to form explosive hydroperoxides (p646) Ethers as Protecting groups for alcohols i. Tert-butyl ethers ii. Benzyl ethers iii. Silyl ethers 14-10B Preparation with TIPSCl (i-Pr)3SiCl, deprotection with Bu4NF 6. Epoxide Reactivity i. Cleavage in Acid: “SN1 like”: Cleavage with weak nucleophiles under acidic conditions: Nucleophile to more substituted carbon with inversion (examples: HBr, H3O+, CH3OH2+) (p660) ii. Cleavage with highly basic or highly nucleophilic nucleophiles: “SN2 like” Nucleophile to less crowded carbon with inversion (examples: CH3NH2, CH3O–, HO–, SH–, CN–) (p 654) iii. Nucleophilic Substitution with Grignard and Organolithium Reagents (“SN2” like) (p669) iv.

Predict the stereochemistry and optical activity of a product from an understanding of its mechanism of formation. Propose a reaction or sequence of reactions to produce a target ether or epoxide in high yield. Predict the products of reactions involving ethers and epoxides with common reagents. Predict the likelihood of carbon skeleton rearrangement under a given set of conditions. Predict the stereochemistry and optical activity of a product from an understanding of its mechanism of formation. Recognize structural features of a molecule that are key to its stability and reactivity. Propose a reaction or sequence of reactions to produce a target organic compound in high yield. 1. Consider the reaction below and tell why it DOES NOT provide high yields of the products shown. Draw alternative products, if any are formed. 2. Give the step-wise mechanism of the following chemical transformation using curved arrow formalism. Show every step in sequence, including proton transfers and draw all non-bonded electrons and formal charges. 3. Give the major organic product of the following reaction and include all stereoisomers formed: 4. Consider the reaction below and answer the following: A. Why doesn’t it provide high yields of the product shown? B. Propose an alternative synthesis of the product (i.e How might the product be synthesized in high yield via a different reaction).
