Haloalkanes, also known as halogenated hydrocarbons, function as anesthetics by disrupting neural activity in the brain and spinal cord. They are believed to enhance the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA's effects and inhibit excitatory neurotransmitter pathways, leading to decreased neuronal excitability. This results in sedation, analgesia, and muscle relaxation, making them effective for inducing and maintaining general anesthesia during surgical procedures. Their low solubility in blood allows for rapid induction and recovery from anesthesia.

Prepartions of ether from mono haloalkane with dry silver oxide?

To prepare ether from a mono haloalkane using dry silver oxide, the mono haloalkane is first treated with dry silver oxide in an anhydrous solvent under reflux conditions. The silver oxide abstracts the halogen atom, leading to the formation of a carbocation intermediate. The carbocation intermediate then reacts with another mono haloalkane molecule via a nucleophilic substitution reaction to form the ether product.
