Question

Which of the following is an example of an asymmetrical ether?

• A. $\mathrm{C_2H_5-O-C_2H_5}$
• B. $\mathrm{CH_3-O-C_2H_5}$
• C. $\mathrm{CH_3-O-CH_3}$
• D. $\mathrm{C_6H_5-O-C_6H_5}$

Hint:

Mixed ether = Asymmetrical ether Example: \[ \mathrm{CH_3-O-C_2H_5} \] Simple ether = Symmetrical ether Example: \[ \mathrm{CH_3-O-CH_3} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B
