Q

Why can’t phenols be used as alkyle halides in Williamson ether synth.

A

Hindrance from the ring structure doesn’t allow an SN2 attack by the alkoxide

16
Q

What is a protection group

A

Lone functional group used to protect a functional group from reactions

17
Q

Deprotection is used when

A

When the reaction is concluded or when the Protected needs modification

18
Q

Epoxidation synthesis reacts what two reactants

A

An alkene

MCPBA or proxy acid.

19
Q

Epoxides are hydrated to yield

A

Anti di-ols

20
Q

Epoxides can react with acid and H2O to create diols. What is the other way to use Epoxides to make diols

A

1) . Use a hydroxide to attack the least substituted carbon on the Epoxides.
2) protonate the hydroxide

21
Q

What type of reactions create Epoxides

A

Base promoted cyclist ion of halogens

Epoxidation of alkenes with. MCPBA or peroxy acid

22
Q

A

Anti configured alcohalide

23
Q

Gringards always attack what carbon on an Epoxides

A

Least substituted
