Reactions of Ethers:A Review and a Preview Dr. Wolf's CHM 201 & 202 16-38
Summary of reactions of ethers No reactions of ethers encountered to this point. Ethers are relatively unreactive. Their low level of reactivity is one reason why ethers are often used as solvents in chemical reactions. Ethers oxidize in air to form explosive hydroperoxides and peroxides.
