Alcohols have higher boiling points if compared to alkaline or any related ethers. This is because the molecules of alcohols can interact through bonding of hydrogen while those of alkaline and ether cannot. Thus, ethanol has a higher boiling point thandimethyl ether, even though they have the same molecular weight.
