This organic chemistry video tutorial provides a basic introduction into the reactions of ethers and epoxides. It discusses the williamson ether synthesis reaction as well as the production of ethers using the alkoxymercuration demercuration reaction. The full version of this video contains example problems of acid catalyzed cleavage of ethers in addition to acid catalyzed and base catalyzed cleavage of epoxides. In addition, it discusses the synthesis of epoxides from alkenes using a peroxyacid such as MCPBA and by means of the halohydrin formation reaction.
