chemistry

Chapters 7, 8 and 9 cover substitution and elimination reactions of alkyl halides, alcohols and epoxides. These are common reactions used in the synthesis of complex molecules, although with some variations in reagents and structures. See if you can find some specific examples using Prof. Doug Taber's website on Organic Synthesis:

1. Go to this site (Organic Chemistry Portal)

https://www.organic-chemistry.org/Highlights/authors/taber-d-f.shtm

2. On the left side menu: select "Organic Reactions"

3. "Organic Synthesis Search"

can choose a type of bond formation (for instance C=C for alkene, or C-O for ether), then select a type of compound (click on the box)

Try to find a specific example of one of these: elimination or other method to make an alkene; ether synthesis; substitution of an alkyl halide or tosylate; synthesis or reaction of an epoxide
