Hydrogen Bond Acceptor Ethers cannot h-bond to each other Alcohol + ether In the presence of OH or-NH (donor), R the lone pair of O—H electrons from ether forms a hydrogen R R bond with the-oh or NH hydrogen bond donor acceptor Chapter 14

Chapter 14 5 Hydrogen Bond Acceptor • Ethers cannot H-bond to each other. • In the presence of -OH or -NH (donor), the lone pair of electrons from ether forms a hydrogen bond with the -OH or -NH. =>

Solvent Properties Nonpolar solutes ether solvates cations: dissolve better in ether than in alcohol RL计 Ether has large dipole R moment, so polar R—O solutes also dissolve R—O4 · Ethers solvate cations RR (not well solvated) RR Ethers do not react with strong bases Chapter 14

Chapter 14 6 Solvent Properties • Nonpolar solutes dissolve better in ether than in alcohol. • Ether has large dipole moment, so polar solutes also dissolve. • Ethers solvate cations. • Ethers do not react with strong bases. =>
