Ether Compounds
An ether is the product of the substitution of hydrogen in the hydroxyl group of an alcohol or phenol by a hydrocarbon group, with the general formula R-O-R', R and R' being either the same or different. An ether in which the two are the same is called a symmetric ether, also called a simple ether or a mono ether; an ether in which the two are not the same is called an asymmetric ether, also called a mixed ether or a hybrid ether. If R and R' are carbon atoms at the ends of an organic group, they are called cyclic ethers, such as ethylene oxide. Most ethers are colorless liquids at room temperature, have an aroma, a low boiling point, are lighter than water, and are stable in nature. Ethers generally have anesthetic effects, such as ether is a commonly used clinical inhalation anesthetic.
Oxygen atoms are more electronegative than carbon, so the α-hydrogen atom connected to oxygen is more acidic than the carbon connected α-hydrogen atom, however it is less acidic than the carbonyl α-hydrogen atom.
Based on the category of the two hydrocarbon groups, ethers can also be categorized as fatty ethers and aromatic ethers.
Among fatty ethers, ethers in which the molecule is not composed of oxygen and carbon atoms bonded into a cyclic ether structure are called acyclic ethers, and can also be subdivided into saturated ethers and unsaturated ethers. Ethers in which oxygen and carbon atoms are combined to form a cyclic ether structure are called cyclic ethers. Ethers containing oxygen on the ring are called internal ethers or epoxides. Macrocyclic ethers containing more than one oxygen are called crown ethers because of their crown-like shape.
