THOTCalcoholsether formation and elimination (alkene formation). In both reactions you arelooking for the components of water (OH and H) that will be removed in the reaction.Ether Formation - Two alcohols will form an ether link by loss of water forming an etherproduct with an acidic catalyst (typically H₂SO4) at 140°C.Н НΗ ΗH₂SO4-H-H + H₂OHellH|4140 CНOne alcohol loses the hydroxyl group and one loses the H from its hydroxyl group.There are ways of predicting which will lose which, but that is not important now. Etherscan be formed from two molecules of the same alcohol or two different alcohols. Whenyou have two different alcohols you usually get a mixture of the possible ethers. Howmany possibilities would there be?

Given that, when alcohols are heated at 140°C in presence of H2SO4, they form ether. We have to tell…

Ether Formation - Two alcohols will form an ether link by loss of water forming an ether product with an acidic catalyst (typically H₂SO4) at 140°C. H₂SO4 4.4 4 H-H 140 C One alcohol loses the hydroxyl group and one loses the H from its hydroxyl group. There are ways of predicting which will lose which, but that is not important now. Ethers can be formed from two molecules of the same alcohol or two different alcohols. When you have two different alcohols you usually get a mixture of the possible ethers. How many possibilities would there be? -H + H₂O
