7. Ethers In an ether, an oxygen atom is bonded to two carbon atoms. –C–O–C–. has a common name that gives the alkyl names of the attached groups followed by ether. Copyright © 2005 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 7 Diethyl ether

8. Ethers are named in two ways: the common naming system, and the IUPAC naming system IUPAC Names: The carbon(s) attached to the oxygen atom are named as branches by adding the –oxy suffix to the stem name.

Benzocaine (local anaesthetic) : Benzocaine is often favoured by drug dealers to bulk out their cocaine supplies. while many dealers use the cheaper paracetamol or corn flour, Benzocaine gives a numbing effect (like purer cocaine should have).

17. 14 | 17 Esters Ester – a compound that has the following general formula: Section 14.4

18. Naming Named after alcohol & carboxylic acid from which they are derived. Names of esters end in –oate. CH 3 C CH 2 O O CH 3 ethylethanoate this part from the acid and is named after it this part comes from the alcohol & is named after it let’s name some esters!

19. Structural formulae Although the previous structural formula are the clearest way of showing esters, they can draw out in a shortened form. ethylethanoate CH 3 C CH 2 O O CH 3 Either… Or… CH 3 C CH 2 O O CH 3 In this version the acid part has been written first Identify the group attached to the C=O – this is from the acid The group attached to the –O- is from the alcohol.

21. Wait! What’s that smell? Esters have strong, sweet smells. Their bouquet is often floral or fruity. This means they are used in food flavourings & perfumes. Also, very good at dissolving organic compounds so often used as solvents. esterfragrance ethyl methanoateraspberries 3-methylbutyl ethanoatepears ethyl 2-methylbutanoateapples phenylmethyl ethanoatejasmine
