Chem 343 – Organic Reactions Chapter 11 Prepared by José Laboy, MS http://www.chem.wisc.edu/areas/clc (Resource page) Synthesis and Reactions of Ethers #1: Ethers from 1° Alcohols Mechanism OH H2SO4 OH O heat OSO3H H2O O H O S OH2 OH O HO H2O H O O This reaction works well for small chain 1° alcohols. Temperature has to be controlled. Above 160°C elimination occurs and terminal alkenes are formed. This reaction does not work for 2° alcohols. The major products are alkenes.
