Text SolutionText solutionverified iconVerified

In Williamson synthesis for the preparation of ethers, alkoxide ion acts as a nucleophile and attacks (via mechanism) a primary alkyl halide (or methyl halide). However, when secondary or tertiary alkyl halide is used instead of primary alkyl halide, along with substitution, elimination is possible. Elimination will give alkenes as alkoxide ion can also act as a strong base.

2.3.1 Solubility of Every solid does not dissolve in a given liquid. While sodium chloride a Solld in a and sugar dissolve readily in water, naphthalene and anthracene do Liquid not. On the other hand, naphthalene and anthracene dissolve readily in benzene but sodium chloride and sugar do not. It is observed that polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents and non polar solutes in nonpolar solvents. In general, a solute dissolves in a solvent if the intermolecular interactions are similar in the two or we may say like
  1. {"benzon: dissolves like. dWhen a solid solute is added to the solvent, some solute dissolves When a solid solute is added to the solvent, some solute dissolves and its concentration increases in solution. This process is known as particles and get separated out of solution. This process is known as 10TALL 2, Tro, fe crystallisation. A stage is reached when the two processes occur at the säme rate. Under such conditions, number of solute particles going into solution will be equal to the solute particles separating out and a state of dynamic equilibrium is reached.",,"At this stage the concentration of solute in solution will remain constant under the given conditions, i.e., temperature and pressure. Similar process is followed when gases are dissolved in liquid solvents. Such a solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at the same temperature and pressure is called a saturated solution. An unsaturated solutionis one in which more solute can be dissolved at the same temperature. The solution which is in dynamic equilibrium with undissolved solute is the saturated solution and contains the maximum amount of solute dissolved in a given amount of solvent. Thus, the concentration of solute in such a solution is its solubility.","Earlier we have observed that solubility of one substance into another depends on the nature of the substances. In addition to these variables, two other parameters, i.e., temperature and pressure also control this phenomenon."}

One type of insoluble support used for SPPS is polymer-bound 4-benzyloxybenzyl alcohol, also known as "Wang resin," shown in Fig. 24.8. The 4-benzyloxybenzyl alcohol moiety serves as a linker between the resin backbone and the peptide. After purification, the completed polypeptide can be detached from the resin using trifluoroacetic acid under conditions that are mild enough not to affect the amide linkages. What structural features of the linker make this possible?
