This low reactivity makes them useful as solvents, e.g. Therefore, ring opening through an SN2 nucleophilic substitution is a common reaction of epoxides. oxidation of hydroquinone and catechol. Because alkyl substitution retards the S N2 reaction, the re-action of a nucleophile at the unsubstituted carbon is faster and leads to the observed product.

An epoxide is a cyclic ether with a three-atom ring. 9.7 General Features-Reactions of Alcohols, Ethers, and Epoxides • Recall that, unlike alkyl halides in which the halogen atom serves as a good leaving group, the OH group in alcohols is a very poor leaving group. impossible for normal ethers. Therefore, ring opening through an S, Although water is a poor nucleophile, the

Reactions of Alcohols, Ethers, and Epoxides. The ether cleavage is a substitution reaction where the OR group is replaced with a halogen by converting it into a good leaving group first. These reactions will be discussed in detail in chapter 16. Thus, ethers have two hydrocarbons bonded to an oxygen atom. The carbons in an epoxide group are very reactive electrophiles, due in large part to the fact that substantial ring strain is relieved when the ring opens upon nucleophilic attack. However, under acidic conditions, the nucleophile will usually attack
Alcohols, water, amines, thiols and many other reagents add to epoxides. Because alcohols and ethers have relatively poor leaving groups compared with the leaving groups of alkyl halides, alcohols and ethers must be activated before the groups will leave. The products are typically 2-substituted alcohols. The carbons in an epoxide group are very reactive electrophiles, due in large part to the fact that substantial ring strain is relieved when the ring opens upon nucleophilic attack. prove to be explosive if old solvents are concentrated to dryness. Unlike ethers, epoxides undergo the SN2
We also acknowledge previous National Science Foundation support under grant numbers 1246120, 1525057, and 1413739. The nonenzymatic ring-opening reactions of epoxides provide a nice overview of many of the concepts we have seen already in this chapter. This is because the sulfur atom has its
Because of the large angle strain in this small ring, epoxides undergo acid and base-catalyzed C–O bond cleavage more easily than do larger ring ethers. Several methods commonly used to activate leaving groups are examined. What are these funky little dunce caps with the pom pom on top? Problem 1 Why are $\mathrm{NH}_{3}$ and $\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{2}$ no longer nucleophiles when they are protonated? Alkyl ethers are cleaved by the strong acids HI or HBr in a nucleophilic substitution reaction similar to that of alcohols. Summary.

Trifluoro-acetic acid can be used in such situations in place of HX. It is represented as R − O − R ′ {\rm{R - O - R'}} R − O − R ′. Ether is a functional group and it is derivative of alcohol formed by replacing hydrogen from alcohol group. By using acid, ¯OH can be converted into H 2O, a good leaving group.
