Acid Catalyzed Ether Synthesis
Sept. 7, 2024
Is there an official name for this ether synthesis mechanism? The mechanisms I have learned that create ethers are called Williamson Ether Synthesis, Alkoxymercuration Demercuration, and Acid-catalyzed hydration with ROH (for symmetrical Ch15: 2 ROH -> ROR + H2O Ethers From Alkenes, Tertiary Alkyl Halides and Alkoxymercuration Acid Catalyzed Ether Synthesis
