A functional group of an ether is characterized by an oxygen atom bonded to two alkyl or aryl groups, represented by the general formula R-O-R', where R and R' can be the same or different hydrocarbon chains. This oxygen atom acts as the central feature that distinguishes ethers from other organic compounds. Ethers are typically less reactive than alcohols and can serve as solvents in various chemical reactions due to their relatively low polarity.

Decimemide contains a sulfonamide functional group and an amide functional group.
Ester Alcohol Ether Amine
The possible functional group isomers for C4H10O are butanol and methoxyethane. Butanol has a primary alcohol functional group, while methoxyethane has an ether functional group.

The functional group of BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) is a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to an aromatic ring.
The main functional groups in oxymetazoline are an ether group (-O-) and an amine group (-NH-). The amine group can be part of an amide or imine functional group.
It is an ether because an oxygen is bound to two carbons. Ethers can be defined as R-O-R' where R is a carbon group.
The functional groups in vanillin are a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an aldehyde group (-CHO).
Morphine contains several functional groups, including a phenol group (OH), an alcohol group (CH3CH2OH), an ether group (ROR'), an amine group (NH2), and an aromatic ring system. These functional groups contribute to the pharmacological actions and properties of morphine as a potent opioid analgesic.
The functional groups in eugenol are a phenol group (-OH) and an allyl group (-CH=CH-CH2-).
