Chemistry Organic Building Blocks Ethers
In the field of organic chemistry, ethers belong to a category of substances that exhibit an ether group, which comprises of an oxygen atom that is bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups. Their chemical makeup can be represented by the general formula R−O−R′, where R and R′ denote the alkyl or aryl groups.
There are two primary classifications for ethers based on their structure. A simple or symmetrical ether is one in which the alkyl or aryl groups on both sides of the oxygen atom are identical, while mixed or unsymmetrical ethers have different alkyl or aryl groups on either side of the oxygen atom.
Ethers typically possess boiling points that are comparable to their corresponding alkanes. Additionally, simple ethers tend to lack any discernible color and are transparent.
