2、 Areas of Difficulty Synthesis of Ether, Reactions: Acid-Catalyzed Cleavage, Reactions of Epoxides. 8.1 Ethers Ethers contain two groups ,which may be alkyl or aryl groups,bonded to an oxygen atom. The groups are the same in a symmetrical ether and different in an un symmetrical ether. CH3CH2OCH2CH3

IUPAC Names of Ethers CH3CH2CH2CH2OCH3 CH3CH OCH CH3CH3CH3butyl methyl ether diisopropyl ether8.2 Nomenclature of Ethers Ethers are named according to IUPAC nomenclature as alkoxyalkanes, where the smaller alkyl group and the oxy

5、gen atom constitute an alkoxy group. An alkoxy group is treated as a substitutent on the larger parent alkane chain or cycloalkane ring. 8.2 Nomenclature of Ethers 8.2 Nomenclature of Ethers Cyclic Ethers The three- through six-membered cyclic ethers have common names. In all ring systems, the oxyge

6、n atom is assigned the number 1,and the rings are numbered in the direction that gives the first substituent the lower number. Cyclic ethers with three-atom rings called epoxides. 8.2 Nomenclature of Ethers Because these compounds are formed from the oxidation of an alkene, the common name of an epo

7、xide is derived by adding oxide to the name of the alkene. 8.2 Nomenclature of EthersThe name of the five-membered ring ether is tetrahydrofuran (THF),based on its relationship to the aromatic compound furan.Similarly,tetrapyran (THP),a six-membered ring ether, is related to pyran,an unsaturated eth

The oxygen atom in each of these rings receives the number 1.The ring is numbered in the directi

10、re polar than alkanes and somewhat less polar than alcohols. Ethers do not have an OH bond and therefore cannot serve as hydrogen bond donors.As a consequence,ether molecules do not hydrogen bond to each other. 8.3 Physical Properties of EthersThus,ethers have boiling points substantially lower than

11、 those of alcohols of comparable molecular weight.Because ethers are polar,they are more soluble in water than alkanes of similar molecular weight. Ethers such as diethyl ether dissolve a variety of nonpolar and polar compounds. 8.4 The Grignard Reagent and Ethers Grignard reagent ,represented as RM

RXRMgXMgetherH2ORH8.5 Synthesis of Ethers Ethers can be prepared by a method called the Williamson synthesis. In this reaction,a halide ion is displaced from an alkyl halide by an alkoxide ion in an SN2

15、 reaction. The alkoxide ion is prepared by the reaction of an alcohol with a strong base such as sodium hydride. 8.5 Synthesis of Ethers Because the steric hindrance,the yields are decreased in the order of primary, secondary and tertiary.

16、hersThus, to make an unsymmetrical ether that has a primary and a tertiary alkyl group, a primary alkyl halide and a tertiary alkoxide ion must be used.

17、not react with most common reagents. They do not react with bases because they are aprotic, but do react with strong acids whose conjugate bases are good nucleophiles. RORHXROH + XRROHHXRX8.6 Reactions of Ethers In general,the less substituted alkyl halide is formed by an SN2 reaction. The halide io

18、n attacks the less hindered carbon atom, and the displaced alkoxy group has the oxygen atom bonded to the more substituted carbon atom. The cleavage reaction does not occur with a halide salt: a proton from the halogen acid is required to protonate the oxygen atom and provide an alcohol as the leavi

The three-membered cyclic ethers,which are important interm

20、ediates in synthesis, can be synthesized by oxidizing an alkene with a peroxyacid(RCO3H).8.7 Synthesis of Epoxides In the epoxidation of alkenes with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid(MCPBA), the stererochemistry of the groups in the alkene is retained. +HHClCOOHOCH2Cl225HHOOOHCCl8.7 Synthesis of Epoxides

21、That is,groups that are cis in the alkene are cis in the epoxide, and groups that are trans in the alkene remain trans in the epoxide.

22、ningThe acid-catalyzed ring opening of epoxides occurs by an SN2 process in which water is the nucleophile and the leaving group is the protonated oxygen atom of the epoxide.8.8 Reaction of Epoxides Ring Opening by Nucleophiles Ethers do not generally react with nucleophiles under neutral or basic c
