Chapter 8: _____________________________________ Common structural feature: 8.1 Nomenclature of Ethers 1. Common Name: name each group attached to O + ether (spaces) alphabetical order CH3OCH2CH3 O CH2CH2CH3 If 2 groups the same: dialkyl ether CH3CH2OCH2CH3 2. IUPAC: a) –OR as a substituent is called an “alkoxy” group prefix #C + oxy -OCH3 -OCH2CH3 b) To name the compound: Locate the longest chain of C – determines the parent name. Remaining OR is named as a substituent. CH3CH2OCH2(CH2)4CH3 CH3CH2CH2CHOCH3 CH2CH3 Draw structure for: 4-ethoxy-1-pentanol 8.4 __________________ Reagent example of: General rxn: Role of Et2O in Rxn stabilizes the Grignard Reagent acts as a Lewis Examples and Naming CH3I Br Reactivity of Grignard - ex.
