	Diethyl ether Summary
		Diethyl ether has the formula CH It is used as a common solvent and has been used as a general anesthetic.
		Diethyl ether has a high cetane number of 85 - 96 and is used as a starting fluid for diesel and gasoline engines.
		Ether, mixed with ethanol, was marketed in the 19th century as a cure-all and recreational drug, during one of Western society's temperance movements.

	Ether and anaesthesia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Diethyl ether is a colourless, extremely volatile liquid with a characteristic smell.
		Thus the induction of anaesthesia is slow when ether is used as the sole anaesthetising agent prior to surgery.
		Dr Henry Bigelow, author of Insensibility during surgical operations produced by inhalation (1846), reports that from his own experience the effects of inhaling sub-anaesthetic doses of pure ether were almost as exhilarating as nitrous oxide "or of the Egyptian haschish" [hashish].

	HHMI Lab Safety: LCSS: DIETHYL ETHER (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Ether vapor may be ignited by hot surfaces such as hot plates and static electricity discharges, and since the vapor is heavier than air, it may travel a considerable distance to an ignition source and flash back.
		Diethyl ether forms unstable peroxides on exposure to air in a reaction that is promoted by light; the presence of these peroxides may lead to explosive residues upon distillation.
		Diethyl ether should be handled in the laboratory using the "basic prudent practices" described in Chapter 5.C, supplemented by additional precautions for dealing with extremely flammable substances (Chapter 5.F).

	Ethyl Ether
		Ethers that have been in contact with air or exposed to light for a long time may contain peroxides; ethers that contain peroxides may explode when the caps or stoppers of their containers are removed.
		Before a worker is placed in a job with a potential for exposure to ethyl ether, a licensed health care professional should evaluate and document the worker's baseline health status with thorough medical, environmental, and occupational histories, a physical examination, and physiologic and laboratory tests appropriate for the anticipated occupational risks.
		Blood ether concentrations have been found to correlate with both the degree of worker exposure and the extent of intoxication; blood ether concentrations should not exceed a level of about 20 mg/L in asymptomatic workers.

	chemical history of ether
		When we use the term ether today, we mean specifically diethyl ether or perhaps the generic class of compounds of which it is a member.
		In the early part of the 19th century, the term "ether" was applied to any volatile including muriatic ether (ethyl chloride) and acetic ether (ethyl acetate).
		At this juncture it was clear that ether and water were formed by the action of sub-stoichiometric amounts of sulfuric acid and that sulfovinic acid was formed as an intermediate in the reaction.

	Asymmetric synthesis of anthracyclines - Experimental
		Dry diethyl ether used for the trituations and crystallisations was prepared by allowing the solvent to stand over sodium wire for a minimum of one week.
		The crude diene was triturated with dichloromethane-diethyl ether to afford a residue (17 g) and a mother liquor.
		Addition of dry diethyl ether to the residue gave the crude cycloadduct (25) (7.837 g), which was crystallised twice from dry dichloromethane-hexanes to afford the title compound (25) (4.61 g, 60%) as a cream solid.

		The proponents of an "ether" as a propagating medium for the light were not ready to give up the idea, and proposed that the Earth dragged the ether along with it in its orbit, thus accounting for the negative result of the interferometer experiment.
		While proponents for the existence of a medium in space, an "ether", still exist, the standard position is that there is no medium in space.
