The carbocation electrophile in a Friedel-Crafts reaction can be generated in ways other than by reaction of an alkyl chloride with AlCl3. For example, reaction of benzene with 2-methylpropene in the presence of H3PO4 yields tert-butylbenzene. Draw a structure for the electrophile.

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.

The formate and methoxide ions are both formed by removing a hydrogen atom from a corresponding neutral compound. Given that each process involves the breaking of an O-H bond, explain why the formate ion is so much more stable than the methoxide ion.
Nucleophilic substitution happens on compounds having nucleophilic groups as leaving groups. The rule is, the weaker the basicity of a group of the substrate, the better is its leaving ability. In these substitution reactions, the basicity of leaving group must be less than the incoming nucleophilic group. Nucleophilic substitution reaction at sp3-hybridized carbon is either bimolecular (SN2) or unimolecular. Bimolecular reaction takes place in single step, involving transition state intermediate. In SN2 reaction, inversion in configuration occurs. In case of optically active alkyl halides, the inversion in configuration is called Walden inversion. SN2 reaction is preferred if the compound has less steric hindrance. On the other hand, unimolecular (SN1) reaction involves two steps and a carbonium ion intermediate. Optically active substrates give racemic mixture in these type of reactions. Which of the following will produce enantiomeric pair on treatment with HOH? " I ÇH, C,Hs-C-Br…
