Organic chemistry: Williamson ether synthesis
Description
Two-step synthesis of an ether from an alcohol, A strong base is a dded to deprotonate the alcohol, which then attacks an alkyl halide.
Organic chemistry
Sal and Jay cover topics covered in college organic chemistry course. Basic understanding of basic high school or college chemistry assumed (although there is some review).
Synthesis and cleavage of ethers
In this tutorial, Jay shows how to synthesize ethers using the Williamson ether synthesis and how to cleave an ether linkage using acid.
Topic: Science
Learn about all the sciences, from physics, chemistry and biology, to cosmology and astronomy, across hundreds of videos, articles and practice questions.
