A student wanted to prepare (1-Ethylpropoxy)cyclopentane by heating cyclopentanol and pentan-3-ol under acidic conditions. On carrying out the reaction, however, she found that there were three ethers produced, each containing 10 carbon atoms. One of the ethers was (1-Ethylpropoxy)cyclopentane. Draw the structures of the other two ethers, and draw the complete, detailed mechanisms showing how all three ethers are produced. (1-Ethylpropoxy)cyclopentane
