Question

How can we prepare ether from ethyl alcohol?

Answer 1

At 110º to 130 ºC an SN2 reaction of the alcohol conjugate acid leads to an ether product. At higher temperatures (over 150 ºC) an E2 elimination takes place. In this reaction alcohol has to be used in excess and the temperature has to be maintained around 413 K.
