Define the Reaction of Ethers with Strong Acid ?
give any two methods by which we can prepare ethers?
True or false : When exposed to light and atmosphere, ethers can slowly react with oxygen forming compounds called hydroperoxides. Hydroperoxides are stable and cannot be easily decomposed by heat or mechanical impact.
Could you explain how to show this in detail?
