As heterocyclic chemical compounds, rings containing multiples of this functional group are useful as phase transfer catalyst
As heterocyclic chemical compounds, rings containing multiples of this functional group are useful as phase transfer catalysts. A special, especially reactive class of these can be formed by the reaction of trifluoroperacetic acid with an alkene. Other classes of this functional group include ketals and acetals. Its 120 degree bond angle results in a dipole. A common synthesis technique features the deprotonation of an alcohol, which subsequently reacts with an alkyl-halide. Other means of synthesis include Ullman condensation and the dehydration of alcohols. Used to link the monomers of carbohydrates, this functional group also serves as a both a Lewis and an Bronstead base. For 10 points, identify this functional group which is an alkoxy-substitued alkyl, alkene, or alkyne: an oxygen atom linking the carbons of two hydrocarbons.
