Ether Reaction Pathways:
RO^{-}$$Na^{+} + R'X (1°) --[SN2]--> R-O-R' (ether) R-O-R' + HI (excess) --[SN2]--> RI + R'I
Key Reagent Map (Quick Reference):
- PCC → mild oxidation (1° → CHO; 2° → ketone)
- / → strong oxidation (1° → COOH; 2° → ketone)
- → strongest reduction (RCOOH → RCH)
- → mild reduction (RCHO/ → alcohol only)
- /HCl → Lucas test (turbidity indicates alcohol type)
- : (from /NaOH) → Reimer-Tiemann formylation
