So, it all depends on the solvent that we are dissolving are organic solvent in. Let's pick the most common solvent, water. In this case you would have van der Waals forces (London force, dipole-induced dipole, and dipole dipole), and hydrogen bonding.

I would elaborate but I am writing my lab report at the moment.

Hope this helps.

Why does 1-butanol have a higher boiling point then diethyl ether?

Diethyl ether, and 1-butanol are similar in size (number of electrons), therefore, their boiling points will be determined by polarity. Diethyl ether has two polar C-O bonds. 1-butanol also has two polar bonds (C-O and O-H), but the O-H bond is more polar than the C-O bond, making 1-butanol more polar than diethyl ether and giving it a higher boiling point. Diethyl ether has weaker intermolecular forces of attraction and therefore a lower boiling point.
