13.2 Synthesis of Ethers | Organic Chemistry

Chad briefly covers of few ways to prepare ethers.  He begins with a review of the two alkene addition reactions (acid-catalyzed addition of an alcohol and alkoxymercuration-demercuration) that produce ethers as well as SN1 with an alcohol.  He concludes the lesson with the one new way of creating an ether, the Williamson Ether Synthesis.

I've created an organic chemistry page that organizes all my videos by chapter - just an easier way for you to watch my YouTube videos. Check it out at https://www.chadsprep.com/chads-organ...
