One method of protecting alcohols is by reacting them with DHP, a compound with this functional group attached to a carbon–carbon double bond.
Allylic examples of these compounds can react with strong bases to generate a carbanion that undergoes a [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement. One method of protecting alcohols is by reacting them with DHP, a compound with this functional group attached to a carbon–carbon double bond. These compounds can be formed by performing the oxymercuration reduction of an alkene in an alcohol solvent instead of water. They can also be made by reacting primary alkyl halides with unhindered alkoxide salts. Reactions involving organometallic reagents are often conducted in solvents containing this functional group, like dioxane or tetrahydrofuran. For 10 points, name this oxygen-containing functional group formed by that aforementioned Williamson synthesis.
