Nomenclature of Ethers

Introduction

Ethers are the compounds with general formula or CnH2n+2O

represented by general structure R - O - R’. They may be regarded as
dialkyl derivatives of water.

IUPAC System of Nomenclature
Nomenclature of Ethers

The groups R and R’ in ether may either be same or different. In case

these groups are same, the compounds are known as simple ethers
or symmetrical ethers. If R and R’ groups are different, the
compounds are called mixed ether or unsymmetrical ethers

C2H5 - O - C2H5 Simple ether

C2H5 - O - CH3 Mixed ether

IUPAC System of Nomenclature

According to IUPAC system, ethers are named as alkoxy alkanes.

The larger alkyl group forms the part of parent chain while lower
alkyl group constitutes alkoxy radical
