    Physical Properties of Ethers

    Overview
    An ether molecule has a net dipole moment due to the polarity of C–O bonds. Subsequently, boiling points of ethers are lower than those of alcohols of comparable molecular weight and slightly higher than those of hydrocarbons of comparable molecular weight (Table 1).
    Ethers can act as hydrogen bond acceptors, making them more water-soluble than hydrocarbons, but since ethers cannot act as hydrogen bond donors, they are much less soluble in water than alcohols. Ethers are considered...

    Ethers from Alcohols: Alcohol Dehydration and Williamson Ether Synthesis

    Overview
    Ethers can be prepared from organic compounds by various methods. Some of them are discussed below,
    Preparation of Ethers by Alcohol Dehydration
    In this method, in the presence of protic acids, alcohol dehydrates to produce alkenes and ethers under different conditions. For example, in the presence of sulphuric acid, dehydration of ethanol at 413 K yields ethoxyethane, whereas it yields ethene at 443 K.
