carboxyllic acid
alcohol
The product of the reaction of an alcohol C2H6O with itself is ethyl ether (C4H10O).
There are two reasons for this; {1} boiling point: Tthe boiling point of water is greater than that of ether. So when the boiling point is greater then the vapour pressure will be low. {2} intermolecular forces: The second is intermolecular forces. When intermolecular forces are greater then the the boiling point will be greater and if boiling point is greater then the vapor pressure will be low. The inter molecular forces of water is greater than that of ether and so the vapour pressure will be low and and boiling point will be greater.
Ether
Alcohol is more polar and less volatile than ether, which can result in lower extraction efficiency and longer extraction times. Additionally, alcohol can form azeotropes with water that can complicate the extraction process. Ether is also considered safer due to its lower flammability compared to alcohol.
n-Propyl alcohol is soluble in ether due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with the ether molecules. Both n-propyl alcohol and ether are polar compounds, which allows for favorable interactions between them. Additionally, the relatively low molecular weight and similar structural characteristics of both compounds enhance their solubility in one another. Thus, the polar nature of n-propyl alcohol and the non-polar characteristics of ether result in a compatible solubility.
Benzyl alcohol is soluble in ether because both benzyl alcohol and ether are nonpolar in nature. Like dissolves like, so nonpolar molecules tend to dissolve in other nonpolar solvents such as ether. This is due to the lack of significant difference in electronegativity between the molecules, allowing for interactions such as London dispersion forces to occur.

Oxidation of a primary alcohol results in an Aldahyde, 2 molecules of primary alcohol oxidized results in an ether, oxidization of a secondary alcohol end product is a ketone.
