AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the reaction between Triethylene glycol and Dichlorotriethylene glycol, specifically when catalyzed by KOH. There is confusion regarding the identity of Dichlorotriethylene glycol, which can have multiple structural isomers due to the presence of chlorine atoms at various positions. The inquiry primarily seeks to determine the product of the reaction involving Triethylene glycol and KOH. It is suggested that this reaction relates to the Williamson Ether Synthesis, a common method for forming ethers. Understanding the specific molecular structure of Dichlorotriethylene glycol is crucial for predicting the reaction outcome.

For starters, what the hell is "Dichlorotriethylene glycol"? If it looks like http://www.dfmg.com.tw/member/chemical/cas/112-27-6.htm molecule, there are at least 6 different places you could have a chlorine. A combination of 2 chlorines at 6 possibles place would mean something like (6*5)/(2*1) = 15 different molecules with that generic name.
 
actually i just wanted known the product from the reation of Triethylene glycol and KOH.
 
It sounds like you are studying the Williamson Ether Synthesis.
 
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
