Ether refers to organic compounds in which both hydrocarbon groups are identical. Ethers are classified into open-chain, saturated, aromatic, etc. They are prepared by heating an alcohol together with sulfuric acid. They are used in medical, chemical and automotive industries.
Ethylene oxide, diethyl ether, dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, polyethylene glycol are among most popular ethers. These ethers are used as solvents, phase transfer catalysts, and applied in the cosmetics and pharmaceuticals industries. Moreover, ethers are used as general anesthetics/analgesics for surgeries and as additives to fuel in race cars. Epoxides are cyclic ethers having three ring atoms. The main examples of epoxides are ethylene oxide (abbreviated as EO) and propylene oxide (aka PO).
