Ethoxy-ethane 1292 Compound

The ethers are also an homologous series. We will only use the common compound simply called ether as a further example. It is really diethyl ether or ethoxy ethane, C2H5 O C2H5. Ether was one of the earliest inhaled anaesthetics and it has a sweet sickly smell. Diethyl ether has a low boiling point (no hydrogen bonding unlike ethanol) and is easily evaporated at room temperatures. If you leave the bottle open it will soon evaporate into a heavy vapour which is extremely flammable. Never use ether near flames or sparks because fire and explosions are possible. 

A series of compounds, but usually the word ether refers to only one member of the homologous series, diethyl ether or ethoxy ethane C2H5OC2H5. It is a heavy vapour with anaesthetic properties and was one of the earliest materials used to induce unconsciousness in patients. Better anaesthetics have been developed that are less harmful and easier to use. 

Ligands 179 and 180 were synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution of the sodium glycolate of TV-methyldiethanol amine on either 2,6-dichloropyridine or 2,6-6 (chloromethyl)pyridine. However, 183 and 184 were synthesized by the qua-temization of 181 or 182 with l,2-6is(P-ethoxy)ethane in acetonitrile. In both instances the resulting diquatemary ammonium salts were demethylated by L-Selec-tride in refluxing tetrahydrofuran to afford the desired pyridino coronand. Com-piexation studies have not been performed on any of these coronands and the physical properties of these compounds do not indicate any unusual characteristics m). 

These compounds contain the characteristic ether linkage C-O-C, and can be thought of either as alcohols in which the hydrogen atom of the hydroxyl group is replaced by an alkyl group, or as alcohol anhydrides . Ethoxy-ethane and some other ethers are made by a dehydration reaction ... 

Much of the effort on the electrooxidation of ethanol has been devoted mainly to identifying the adsorbed intermediates on the electrode and elucidating the reaction mechanism by means of various techniques, as differential electrochemical mass spectrometry, in situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and electrochemical thermal desorption mass spectroscopy. The established major products include CO2, acetaldehyde, and acetic acid, and it has been reported that methane and ethane have also been detected. Surface-adsorbed CO is still identified as the leading intermediate in ethanol electrooxidation, as it is in the methanol electrooxidation. Other surface intermediates include various Ci and C2 compounds such as ethoxy and acetyl [102]. There is general agreement that ethanol electrooxidation proceeds via a complex multi-step mechanism, which involves a number of adsorbed intermediates and also leads to different byproducts for incomplete ethanol oxidation, as shown in Figure 1.22. 

Potential Chemotherapeutic Agents - Several anthelmintic compounds were reported in animal studies. Included are Thiacyanines (XXXl) and hemithiacyanines (XXXIl) related to dithiazinine (XXXIa) methyl 5(6)-butyl-2-benzimidazolecarbamate (XXXIII) 1,4-bis (2-diethylamino-ethoxy) anthraquinone dihydrochloride (XXIV) and dithynyltrichlor-ethane (XXXV).122...
