(1RS,6SR)-Ethyl 4,6-bis-(4-fluoro-phen-yl)-2-oxocyclo-hex-3-ene-1-carboxyl-ate
Abstract:
In the crystal structure of the title compound, C(21)H(18)F(2)O(3), the cyclo-hexene ring has a slightly distorted sofa conformation; the two benzene rings are inclined by 76.27 (8)° and their planes make dihedral angles of 16.65 (10) and 67.53 (7)° with the approximately planar part of the cyclo-hexenone ring [maximum deviation 0.044 (2) Å, while the sixth atom is displaced by 0.648 (3) Å from this plane]. In the crystal, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯O, C-H⋯F and C-H⋯π inter-actions join mol-ecules into a three-dimensional structure.

In cyclohexane, the substituents can occupy different positions generating distinct isomers.
Structure and Nomenclature of Ethers
Ethers are organic compounds with an ether functional group which is characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two — identical or different — alkyl, aryl, or vinyl groups. The C–O–C linkage in dimethyl ether — the simplest ether — has an approximately tetrahedral bond angle of 110.3 degrees. The oxygen atom is sp3- hybridized, with the C–O distance being about 140 pm.

Based on their attached substituent groups, ethers can be classified into two...
Preparation of Epoxides
Epoxides result from alkene oxidation, which can be achieved by a) air, b) peroxy acids, c) hypochlorous acids, and d) halohydrin cyclization.
Epoxidation with Peroxy Acids
Epoxidation of alkenes via oxidation with peroxy acids involves the conversion of a carbon–carbon double bond to an epoxide using the oxidizing agent meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, commonly known as MCPBA. Since the O–O bond of peroxy acids is very weak, the addition of electrophilic oxygen of peroxy acids to...
