Ethers
Ethers are the class of Organic Compounds in which the alkyl groups are linked to each other with an Oxygen atom. In organic chemistry, Ethers are derived from alcohols. If hydrogen is replaced by an alkyl or aryl group then there is a new class of compounds formed known as ethers.
In this article, we will learn what Ether is, what is structure of Ether, how to do the Nomenclature of Ether, what are the physical and chemical properties of Ether, and the distinction between Ether and Ester in detail.
