ether, thioether, sulfide, disulfide, sulfoxide, sulfone
epoxide, oxirane, oxetane, oxolane, oxane
silyl ether, THP ether, peroxyacid
alkoxy, alkylthiogroups
crown ether
explain the reasons and methods for using protecting groups
recognize the differences in reactivity between ethers and sulfides
illustrate the appropriate use of protecting groups in a synthesis
select appropriate reactants for a Williamson synthesis
identify reaction products from the various reactions that involve ethers as reactants or products
write an appropriate mechanism for the various reactions that involve ethers as reactants or products
in particular, write epoxide ring-opening mechanisms using acid ctaalysis or direct nucleophilic attack
