  4. Ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ether

    The trivial names for simple ethers (i.e., those with none or few other functional groups) are a composite of the two substituents followed by "ether". For example, ethyl methyl ether (CH 3 OC 2 H 5), diphenylether (C 6 H 5 OC 6 H 5). As for other organic compounds, very common ethers acquired names before rules for nomenclature were formalized.

  5. Ethyl phenyl ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethyl_phenyl_ether

    Ethyl phenyl ether (or phenetole) is an organic compound that belongs to a class of compounds called ethers. Ethyl phenyl ether has the same properties as some other ethers, such as volatility, explosive vapors, and the ability to form peroxides. It will dissolve in less polar solvents such as ethanol or ether, but not in polar solvents such as ...

  6. Alkyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alkyl_group

    In chemistry, alkyl is a group, a substituent, that is attached to other molecular fragments. For example, alkyl lithium reagents have the empirical formula Li(alkyl), where alkyl = methyl, ethyl, etc. A dialkyl ether is an ether with two alkyl groups, e.g., diethyl ether O(CH 2 CH 3) 2.

  7. Ethanol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethanol

    Ethanol is an important industrial ingredient. It has widespread use as a precursor for other organic compounds such as ethyl halides, ethyl esters, diethyl ether, acetic acid, and ethyl amines. It is considered a universal solvent, as its molecular structure allows for the dissolving of both polar, hydrophilic and nonpolar, hydrophobic compounds.

  8. Phenol ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol_ether

    In chemistry, a phenol ether (or aromatic ether) is an organic compound derived from phenol (C 6 H 5 OH), where the hydroxyl (-OH) group is substituted with an alkoxy (-OR) group. Usually phenol ethers are synthesized through the condensation of phenol and an organic alcohol ; however, other known reactions regarding the synthesis of ethers can ...

  9. IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IUPAC_nomenclature_of...

    To avoid long and tedious names in normal communication, the official IUPAC naming recommendations are not always followed in practice, except when it is necessary to give an unambiguous and absolute definition to a compound. IUPAC names can sometimes be simpler than older names, as with ethanol, instead of ethyl alcohol. For relatively simple ...
