Ether is a product in which the hydrogen in the hydroxyl group of an alcohol or phenol is replaced by a hydrocarbon group. The general formula is R-O-R', and R and R' can represent the same or ...

This module covers synthesis and reactivity of ethers and epoxides. Students will connect these to the larger sustainability goals of UNSDG 3: Good Health and Well-being, 9: Industry, Innovation, and ...

Taking inspiration from enzymes, chemists have developed a catalyst to simplify the synthesis of ethers, key functional components of many drugs, foods, personal care items and other consumer goods.

A polysilsesquioxane with a bis(2-methoxyethyl)amide group and 15-crown-5-ether ring (MCPSQ) was newly prepared by the co-condensation of silane coupling reagents, which were obtained from ...

Ether, short for diethyl ether, is one of the most important chemicals in history and its use as a general anesthetic is arguably one of the greatest discoveries of all time (1). Surgery before ...

A new enzyme-inspired, small-molecule catalyst developed at the University of Illinois holds alcohols and alkenes in just the right proximity and position to join into ethers, key functional ...
