GENERAL DESCRIPTION & APPLICATIONS |
||
| Ethers are widely used as solvents for various organic reactions because they are relatively the least reactive among common organic compounds except alkanes and fluorocarbons. Ethers don't have hydrogen bonds resulting in lower boiling point than corresponding alkanes and have more hydrophobic than esters or amides. The common reaction of ethers is cleavage of the C–O bond by strong acids either in linear chain or cyclic structure. Ethers in which oxygen is bonded to primary and secondary alkyl groups can form peroxide compounds in the presence of gaseous oxygen due to two unpaired electrons in oxygen. Ethers can act as Lewis bases in chemical reactions. Reactions of ethers are cleavage of the C–O bond by strong acids, peroxide formation and epoxide reactions. Converted ethers from alcohols exhibit chemical stability and can be used to protect for hydroxyl groups (alcohols and phenols) from undergoing unwanted reactions such as oxidation, acylation, halogenation, dehydration, and other susceptible reactions. 2-Methoxypropene can be used as a protective for adajacent hydroxyls, 1,2-diols and amine hydroxyl groups in organic synthesis. | ||
