Abstract:
Pure Mg2Al(OH)6Cl·1.5H2O layered double hydroxide (LDH) has been synthesized at room temperature by a one-pot method, homogeneously driven by chloride-assisted glycidol rupture (epoxide route). Well-defined nanoplatelet texture was achieved and the LDH crystallization mechanism discussed. Nanoplatelets self-assemble in the form of highly oriented films with excellent optical properties. LDH films exhibited stability toward detaching in aqueous solutions and allowed a fast anionic exchange preserving a high transparency.

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...
Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis
Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
