Chapter 11: Problem 13
Account for the fact that tetrahydrofuran (THF) is very soluble in water, whereas the solubility of diethyl either in water is only \(8 \mathrm{~g} / 100 \mathrm{~mL}\) water.

Get started for freeStarting with cis-3-hexene, show how to prepare the following diols. (a) Meso 3,4-hexanediol (b) Racemic 3,4-hexanediol
Following are two reaction sequences for converting 1,2 -diphenylethylene into 2,3-diphenyloxirane. Suppose that the starting alkene is trans-1,2-diphenylethylene. (a) What is the configuration of the oxirane formed in each sequence? (b) Will the oxirane formed in either sequence rotate the plane of polarized light? Explain.
During the synthesis of the antiasthmatic drug montelukast (Singulair), a silyl ether protecting group is used to mask the reactivity of an OH group. The silyl group chosen is the tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) group. Draw the product of the following transformation, assuming the TBDMS-Cl reagent reacts only once with the starting material. Briefly explain your answer.
Propose a synthesis for 18-crown-6. If a base is used in your synthesis, does it make a difference whether it is lithium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide?
Using your roadmap as a guide, show how to convert 1-butene into dibutyl ether. You must use 1-butene as the source of all carbon atoms in the dibutyl ether. Show all required reagents and all molecules synthesized along the way.
