Document Summary
Ether is an oxygen atom bonded to two. The functional group of an carbon atoms (cid:8869) the simplest ether is dimethyl ether (cid:8869) the most common ether is diethyl ether: a, no, boo. Ch z ch z - o - ch z ch 3. Iupac system : alkoxy (as substituent group) t parent chain. Common name : alkyl group + alkyl group tether. Ethers are resistant to chemical reaction tetrahydrofuran (cid:8869) does not react with oxidizing reagents (cid:8869) does not react with reducing reagents (cid:8869) does not react with acids and bases at moderate temperature. Intermolecular force : (cid:8869) dipole - dipole attraction (cid:8869) london dispersion force (induced dipole) Ethers have lower boiling points than alcohols of the same molecular formula. Dimethyl ether bp - 24 c ethanol bp 78 c. A compound containing an (cid:8869) the most outstanding property of low - molecular- weight thiols is their. Sh (sutfhydryl ) group stench (cid:8869) the scent of skunks :
