The autoignition temperature of diethyl ether is 160 °C (320 °F). The diffusion of diethyl ether in air is 9.18 × 10 −6 m 2 /s (298 K, 101.325 kPa). [citation needed] Ether is sensitive to light and air, tending to form explosive peroxides. [19] Ether peroxides have a higher boiling point than ether and are contact explosives when dry. [19]
They have the general formula R−O−R′, where R and R′ represent the organyl groups. Ethers can again be classified into two varieties: if the organyl groups are the same on both sides of the oxygen atom, then it is a simple or symmetrical ether, whereas if they are different, the ethers are called mixed or unsymmetrical ethers.

Tetrahydrofuran (THF), or oxolane, is an organic compound with the formula (CH 2) 4 O. The compound is classified as heterocyclic compound, specifically a cyclic ether. It is a colorless, water-miscible organic liquid with low viscosity. It is mainly used as a precursor to polymers. [8]
1,4-Dioxane (/ d aɪ ˈ ɒ k s eɪ n /) is a heterocyclic organic compound, classified as an ether. It is a colorless liquid with a faint sweet odor similar to that of diethyl ether. The compound is often called simply dioxane because the other dioxane isomers (1,2-and 1,3-) are rarely encountered.
Ethylene oxide is an organic compound with the formula C 2 H 4 O. It is a cyclic ether and the simplest epoxide : a three-membered ring consisting of one oxygen atom and two carbon atoms. Ethylene oxide is a colorless and flammable gas with a faintly sweet odor.

When combined with magnesium metal in dry ether, it gives the corresponding Grignard reagent. Such reagents are used to attach butyl groups to various substrates. 1-Bromobutane is the precursor to n-butyllithium: [4] 2 Li + C 4 H 9 X → C 4 H 9 Li + LiX where X = Cl, Br. The lithium for this reaction contains 1-3% sodium.
