Question

explain different type of ether
?with example~​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ethers are classified in two types.

1) simple or symmetrical

2) mixed or unsymmetrical

The general formula of ether is R - O - R'

Where R & R' represents alkyl and aryl groups.

1) simple or symmetrical : when alkyl gr. Present at both sides of oxygen are same it is named as simple ether.

E. G. = ch3ch2-O-ch2ch3, ch3-O-ch3, etc.

2) mixed or unsymmetrical : when alky gr present at both sides of oxygen are different it is known as mixed ether.

E. G. = ch3ch2-O-ch3, ch2ch3ch3-O-ch3 etc.

Answer 2

$\huge\bf\underline{types \: of \: ether}$

Depending on the groups at R and R′, ethers are classified into two types:

Simple ethers or symmetrical ethers; e.g., diethyl ether, dimethyl ether, dipropyl ether etc.

Mixed ethers or asymmetrical ethers; e.g., ethyl methyl ether, methyl phenyl ether, etc.

$\huge\bf\underline{example}$

Systematic (IUPAC) names for ethers use the more complex group as the root name, with the oxygen atom and the smaller group named as an alkoxy substituent. Examples given above are ethoxyethane (diethyl ether), methoxyethane (methyl ethyl ether), 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane (MTBE), and phenoxybenzene (diphenyl ether).
