Question

Which of the following is not a true statement? a. oxiranes are three-membered ring ethers. b. oxetanes are five-membered ring ethers. c. dioxanes are six-membered ring ethers.

Answer 1

The true statement will be "oxetanes are five-membered ring ethers."

The four-membered ring of octane, a saturated organic heteromonocyclic parent, contains three carbon atoms but one oxygen atom. It belongs to the family of oxetanes well and has a saturated organic heteromonocyclic parent.

Oxetanes can also be widely employed as monomers inside the cationic or anionic synthesis including both branched but also linear poly-ethers. Thermal decomposition, photolysis, as well as cycloaddition are further beneficial reactions.

The structure of oxetanes are shown as:

The Patern-Büchi reaction is another process that could result in the formation of an oxetane ring. In addition to decarboxylation of such a six-membered cyclic carbonate, diol cyclization can also create the oxetane ring.

a)Oxiranes has two carbon ring with one oxygen.

b) Oxetanes has 3 carbon ring with one oxygen

c) Dioxanes has six membered ring with two oxygen.

Therefore, the true statement will be "oxetanes are five-membered ring ethers."

Hence, the correct answer will be option (b)
