Physical Properties of Ethers
Table 16. 1 Ethers resemble alkanes more than alcohols with respect to boiling point 36°C O 35°C 117°C OH Intermolecular hydrogen bonding possible in alcohols; not possible in alkanes or ethers.
Table 16. 1 Ethers resemble alcohols more than alkanes with respect to solubility in water (g/100 m. L) very small 7. 5 O OH 9 Hydrogen bonding to water possible for ethers and alcohols; not possible for alkanes.
Hydrogen Bond Acceptor • Ethers cannot hydrogen bond with other ether molecules, so they have a lower boiling point than alcohols. • Ether molecules can hydrogen bond with water and alcohol molecules. • They are hydrogen bond acceptors. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 14
Ethers as Solvents • Ethers are widely used as solvents because § they can dissolve nonpolar and polar substances. § they are unreactive toward strong bases. Ethers are relatively unreactive. Their low level of reactivity is one reason why ethers are often used as solvents in chemical reactions. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 15
Ether Complexes • Grignard reagents: Complexation of an ether with a Grignard reagent stabilizes the reagent and helps keep it in solution. • Electrophiles: The ether’s nonbonding electrons stabilize the borane (BH 3). © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 16

Crown Ether Complexes • Crown ethers can complex metal cations in the center of the ring. • The size of the ether ring will determine which cation it can solvate better. • Complexation by crown ethers often allows polar inorganic salts to dissolve in nonpolar organic solvents. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Application to organic synthesis Complexation of K+ by 18 -crown-6 solubilizes potassium salts in benzene. Anion of salt is in a relatively unsolvated state in benzene (sometimes referred to as a "naked anion"). Unsolvated anion is very reactive. Only catalytic quantities of 18 -crown-6 are needed.

Preparation of Ethers
Acid-Catalyzed Condensation of Alcohols* 2 CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH H 2 SO 4, 130°C CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OCH 2 CH 2 CH 3 (60%) Method is good for primary alcohols. Diethyl ether is made on industrial scale using this method. Ethylene will form at higher temperatures. Secondary and tertiary alcohols give alkenes as main product.
Addition of Alcohols to Alkenes (CH 3)2 C=CH 2 + CH 3 OH H+ (CH 3)3 COCH 3 tert-Butyl methyl ether (MTBE) was produced on a scale exceeding 15 billion pounds per year in the U. S. during the 1990 s. It is an effective octane booster in gasoline, but contaminates ground water if allowed to leak from storage tanks. Further use of MTBE is unlikely.
The Williamson Ether Synthesis
Williamson Ether Synthesis • This method involves an SN 2 attack of the alkoxide on an unhindered primary halide or tosylate. • The alkoxide is commonly made by adding Na, K, or Na. H to the alcohol © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 31
Example CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 ONa + CH 3 CH 2 I CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OCH 2 CH 3 + Na. I (71%)
Another Example Alkyl halide must be primary or methyl CH 2 Cl Alkoxide ion can be derived from methyl, primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohol. + CH 3 CHCH 3 ONa CH 2 OCHCH 3 (84%)
Origin of Reactants CH 3 CHCH 3 CH 2 OH OH HCl CH 2 Cl Na + CH 3 CHCH 3 ONa CH 2 OCHCH 3 (84%)
What happens if the alkyl halide is not primary? CH 2 ONa + CH 3 CHCH 3 Br CH 2 OH + H 2 C CHCH 3 Elimination by the E 2 mechanism becomes the major reaction pathway.
Reactions of Ethers:
Acid-Catalyzed Cleavage of Ethers can be cleaved by heating with concentrated HBr and HI. Reactivity: HI > HBr
Example CH 3 CHCH 2 CH 3 HBr OCH 3 heat CH 3 CHCH 2 CH 3 Br (81%) + CH 3 Br
Mechanism of Ether Cleavage • Step 1: Protonation of the oxygen. • Step 2: The halide will attack the carbon and displace the alcohol (SN 2). © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 39
Mechanism of Ether Cleavage Step 3: The alcohol reacts further with the acid to produce another mole of alkyl halide. • This does not occur with aromatic alcohols (phenols). © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 40
Cleavage of Cyclic Ethers O HI 150°C ICH 2 CH 2 I (65%)
Autoxidation of Ethers • In the presence of atmospheric oxygen, ethers slowly oxidize to hydroperoxides and dialkyl peroxides. • Both are highly explosive. • Precautions: § Do not distill to dryness. § Store in full bottles with tight caps. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 43

Preparation of Epoxides are prepared by two major methods. Both begin with alkenes. Reaction of alkenes with peroxy acids (Section 6. 19) Conversion of alkenes to vicinal halohydrins, followed by treatment with base (Section 16. 10, this chapter) © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 46
Synthesis of Epoxides • Peroxyacids are used to convert alkenes to epoxides. • Most commonly used peroxyacid is metachloroperoxybenzoic acid (MCPBA). • The reaction is carried out in an aprotic acid to prevent the opening of the epoxide. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 47
Halohydrin Cyclization • If an alkoxide and a halogen are located in the same molecule, the alkoxide may displace a halide ion and form a ring. • Treatment of a halohydrin with a base leads to an epoxide through this internal SN 2 attack. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Chapter 14 48
