Total questions: 19
Worksheet time: 30mins
What is the product?
an alkene
an ether
a substitution of OH with CH3
formation of a ketone
Mechanistically, the Williamson ether synthesis outlined is:
an E1 process
an SN1 process
an E2 process
an SN2 process
None of the answers are correct
What would be the product?
cyclopentene
cyclopentane
cyclopentanol
methoxycyclopentane
Is there no reaction?
This is false. You get phenol and a halogenated benzene as a product.
True, Diaryl ethers like diphenyl ether are inert under ordinary acidic conditions because the generation of an aryl cation is an SN1 process that is energetically unfavorable, and "back-side" attack at the ring carbon bound to oxygen is sterically unfavorable.
True, Hydrogen halides are not strong enough acids to cleave an ether.
This is false. It yields benzene and phenol.
This is false. It yields 2 phenol compounds
The synthesis of epoxides by base treatment of halohydrins is an example of an intramolecular:
dehydration reaction
hydrolysis reaction
