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…

The endiandric acids comprise a group of unsaturated carboxylic acids isolated from a tree that grows in the rainforests of eastern Australia. The methyl esters of endiandric acids D and E have been prepared from polyene Y by a series of two successive electrocyclic reactions: thermal ring closure of the conjugated tetraene followed by ring closure of the resulting conjugated triene. (a) Draw the structures (including stereochemistry) of the methyl esters of endiandric acids D and E. (b) The methyl ester of endiandric acid E undergoes an intramolecular [4 + 2] cycloaddition to form the methyl ester of endiandric acid A. Propose a possible structure for endiandric acid A.

Synthesize each compound from benzonitrile (C6H5CN) as the only organic starting material; that is, every carbon in the product must originate in benzonitrile.

Draw the structure of each product from the reaction of benzene with 2-chloro-1-methylcyclohexane using AlCl 3 as the catalyst and Identify the major product.
