CHAPTER 18: Ethers and Epoxides

This chapter explores ethers and epoxides, highlighting their structures, properties, and practical uses. We discuss diethyl ether and its applications, including tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE) as a gas additive. Emphasis is placed on various cyclic ethers, and the significance of low-reactivity ethers as solvents. The chapter also covers highly reactive compounds like ethylene oxide and tetrahydrofuran (THF), the nomenclature of p-methoxybenzoic acid, and the distinctive characteristics of oxiranes and dioxanes.
