A student proposes the following two-step synthesis of an ether from an alcohol
Aand another organic reagent
R: Is the student's proposed synthesis possible and likely to give good yield?
?yes
?no If you said the proposed synthesis would work, draw the structures of
Aand
Rin the drawing area below. If there's more than one pair of
Aand
Rthat give equally good results, you can draw any pair. It's OK if
Ris an ionic species, you can assume any necessary counterion is present.
