  6. Ether cleavage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ether_cleavage

    Ether cleavage refers to chemical substitution reactions that lead to the cleavage of ethers. Due to the high chemical stability of ethers, the cleavage of the C-O bond is uncommon in the absence of specialized reagents or under extreme conditions. [1] [2] In organic chemistry, ether cleavage is an acid catalyzed nucleophilic substitution reaction.
