ether
Ether is a class of organic compounds with ether functional groups. The ether functional group is formed by linking two alkyl groups or aryl groups with one oxygen atom. The ether has the general formula: R-O-R. It can also be thought of as a compound in which the alcohol on the alcohol or phenolic hydroxyl group is replaced by a hydrocarbyl group. The most typical compounds in ether are: ether, which is commonly used in organic solvents with medical anesthetics. Because of its common use in chemistry (ether is the most commonly used ether extraction solvent), we sometimes ether directly referred to as "ether". The use of ether compounds is common in organic chemistry and biochemistry, and they are also useful as linkers for carbohydrates and lignin. ...
