The aryl varieties can be generated in the Ullman condensation, and a cyclic type of these compounds is formed when alkenes are treated with mcPBA.
The aryl varieties can be generated in the Ullman condensation, and a cyclic type of these compounds is formed when alkenes are treated with mcPBA. Their synthesis can be accomplished in a reaction of sodium alkoxide with an alkyl halide named for Williamson. Cyclic ones include tetrahydrofuran, oxirane, and epoxide, though a special polycyclic variety is dubbed the "crown" type. For 10 points, name these compounds, examples of which include the anesthetic diethyl variety.
