  2. Dimethyl ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethyl_ether

    Dimethyl ether (DME; also known as methoxymethane) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 OCH 3, (sometimes ambiguously simplified to C 2 H 6 O as it is an isomer of ethanol). The simplest ether , it is a colorless gas that is a useful precursor to other organic compounds and an aerosol propellant that is currently being demonstrated for ...

  3. Oxidation with dioxiranes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxidation_with_dioxiranes

    Oxidation with dioxiranes refers to the introduction of oxygen into organic substrates using dioxiranes. Dioxiranes are well known for epoxidations (synthesis of epoxides from alkenes ). [ 1 ] Dioxiranes oxidize other unsaturated functionality, heteroatoms, and alkane C-H bonds. [ 2 ]

  4. Diethyl ether peroxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diethyl_ether_peroxide

    Diethyl ether hydroperoxide forms polymers known as diethyl ether peroxide, or ethylidene peroxide: The peroxide is a colorless oil that is an extremely brisant and friction sensitive explosive material , however the polymeric materials are solid making them more dangerous as evaporation of the volatile diethyl ether can leave thin films of ...

  5. Ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ether

    Dimethyl ether: A colourless gas that is used as an aerosol spray propellant. A potential renewable alternative fuel for diesel engines with a cetane rating as high as 56–57. Diethyl ether: A colourless liquid with sweet odour. A common low boiling solvent (b.p. 34.6 °C) and an early anaesthetic. Used as starting fluid for diesel engines.

  6. Diglyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diglyme

    Diglyme, or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3 OCH 2 CH 2) 2 O. It is a colorless liquid with a slight ether-like odor. It is a solvent with a high boiling point. It is the dimethyl ether of diethylene glycol. The name diglyme is a portmanteau of diglycol methyl ether. It is miscible with water as ...

  8. Organic sulfide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic_sulfide

    Some sulfides are named by modifying the common name for the corresponding ether. For example, C 6 H 5 SCH 3 is methyl phenyl sulfide, but is more commonly called thioanisole, since its structure is related to that for anisole, C 6 H 5 OCH 3. The modern systematic nomenclature in chemistry for the trival name thioether is sulfane. [2]

  9. Epoxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxide

    A generic epoxide. In organic chemistry, an epoxide is a cyclic ether, where the ether forms a three-atom ring: two atoms of carbon and one atom of oxygen.This triangular structure has substantial ring strain, making epoxides highly reactive, more so than other ethers.
