An alkoxylation is a reaction with an alkoxy group, an alkoxide or an epoxide.
The compound CH2CCH32 is called ether. It is an organic compound containing two alkoxyl groups attached to an aryl or alkyl group via an oxygen atom.
Activating groups donate electron density either through inductive effects or resonance. They are usually ortho and para directed, which means the subsequent groups added will either be in the 2 or 4 position relative to the functional group. It is easy to determine if a functional group is activating if it electronegative molecules are single bonded. Examples: alkyl groups (-CH3), alkoxyl (-OCH3), amino (-NH2), thio (-SH), The exception to the trend that activating groups = ortho/para are halides. Halides are deactivating groups because of strong electronegativity, but they are also ortho and para. Molecules that are double bonded like -NO2, HSO4, and halides are deactivating. They are meta directed, adding molecules at the 3 position.
The reactivity of 2,2-dimethyl-5-methoxyindan-1-ol (1) and 2,2-dimethyl-6-methoxytetral-1-ol (2) radical cations has been studied both in acidic and basic solution. At pH≤4 both 1+ and 2+ undergo Cα---H deprotonation as the exclusive reaction with k=4.6×104 and 3.2×104 s−1, respectively. In basic solution 1+ and 2+ behave as oxygen acids undergoing −OH-induced α---OH deprotonation in a diffusion controlled process (k−OH≈1010M−1 s−1). An intermediate alkoxyl radical is formed which undergoes a 1,2-hydrogen atom shift in competition with C---C β-scission (with 1+) or as the exclusive pathway (with 2+). A behavior which is interpreted in terms of the greater ease of ring-opening of a five membered ring as compared to a six-membered one.Graphic
