Question

Hey, just for clarification about epoxides

Answer 1

Should I do a Nu attack with NaOH, then dehydration and then CH3Ch2Br?

Answer 2

Will that make sense?

Answer 3

@Kainui that's the last one for the day

Answer 4

@Kainui

Answer 5

That's not an epoxide

Answer 6

sorry my bad,but the reaction that I wrote, does it make sense?

Answer 7

@abb0t was I right at least?

Answer 8

@Kainui ?

Answer 9

If I was your professor, I would probably only give you \(\sf \frac{1}{3}\) credit (and thats being very generous), because you didn't show what you used to form your product.

But, you can do an Sn\(_2\) reaction to make an alkoxide. Proceed via williamson synthesis.

Answer 10

I agree @abb0t ,I just wanted to see if I'm right at all

Answer 11

@abb0t is that right?

Answer 12

does it suffice in your opinion?

Answer 13

Yeah, you sort of took a longer route than i expected, but yes, essentially right. You could of just reacted it with something like a sodium ethoxide or something and proceeded via Sn\(_2\).

Answer 14

right!
