Identify the reagents a-e in the following scheme:

Meerwein’s reagent, triethyloxoniumtetrafluoroborate, is a powerful ethylating agent that converts alcohols into ethyl ethers at neutral pH. Show the reaction of Meerwein’s reagent with cyclohexanol, and account for the fact that trialkyloxonium salts are much more reactive alkylating agents than alkyl iodides.

How could you prepare benzyl phenyl ether from benzene and phenol? More than one step is required.
In the formation of the prepolymer used to make epoxy resins, a bisphenol reacts with epichlorohydrin in the presence of a base. Show the product and mechanism when two moles of phenol react with epichlorohydrin.
