Hydrogen Bond Acceptor• Ethers cannot H-bond
to each other.• In the presence of
-OH or -NH (donor), the lone pair of electrons from ether forms a hydrogen bond with the -OH or -NH.

Solvent Properties
• Nonpolar solutes dissolve better in ether than in alcohol.
• Ether has large dipole moment, so polar solutes also dissolve.
• Ethers solvate cations. • Ethers do not react with
strong bases. =>

Common Names of Ethers
• Alkyl alkyl ether• Current rule: alphabetical order• Old rule: order of increasing complexity• Symmetrical: use dialkyl, or just alkyl.• Examples:
CH3CH2 O CH2CH3
diethyl ether orethyl ether
CH3 O C
CH3
CH3
CH3
t-butyl methyl ether ormethyl t-butyl ether =>

Cleavage of Ethers
• Ethers are unreactive toward base, but protonated ethers can undergo substitution reactions with strong acids.
• Alcohol leaving group is replaced by a halide.
• Reactivity: HI > HBr >> HCl

Br CH3 + H O CH3
• Ether is protonated.
• Alcohol leaves as halide attacks.
• Alcohol is protonated, halide attacks, and another molecule of alkyl bromide is formed. =>
