Williamson Ether Synthesis:
First the halogen will dissociate from the alkane leaving a carbocation. Then an alcohol (lone pairs of the oxygen) will attack the charged carbon to form an ether with a hydrogen attached to the (positively charged) oxygen. This readily dissociates (for example it can be removed by the halogen ion) to form the ether.
Silver have high affinity toward halogen. Dry silver oxide (Ag2O) reacts with two molecules of (2RX) to give ether and 2AgX. Reaction will be: 2RX + Ag2O = ROR + 2AgX
In a primary haloalkane, the carbon involved in the halogen-carbon bond is bonded to one other carbon. In a secondary haloalkane, the carbon involved in the halogen-carbon bond is also bonded to two other carbons.
A haloalkane has the same number of covalent bonds as the corrresponding unhalogenated alkane.
what is haloalkane
It is an haloalkane (aka alkyl halide).
now a days d most used common anesthetic is ethyl chloride
2CH3-Cl + 2Na ---------Anhdrous ether-------> CH3-CH3 + 2NaCl
Diethyl ether does not dissove in ether at room temperature
From the Ether was created in 2004.
In the Ether was created in 2006.
guaiacol glyceryl ether
The heteroatom in ether is oxygen.
