Get the Deethy mug.Diethyl ether is a solvent that is useful for grignard reactions. It's also an anesthetic. Diethyl ether is highly flammable (even electrical outlets and too high temperatures can ignite it. Diethyl ether must be stored with butylated hydroxytoluene to avoid peroxide products which are explosive. Diethyl ether is also sometimes used for extractions, but other solvents like ethyl chloride, chloroform, toluene, hexane, and dichloromethane are generally preferred. Diethyl ether is synthesized by reacting ethanol with sulfuric acid. This reaction must be carried out at temperatures lower than 150 °C in order to ensure that an elimination product (ethylene) is not a product of the reaction. At higher temperatures, ethanol will dehydrate to form ethylene. The reaction to make diethyl ether is reversible, so eventually an equilibrium between reactants and products is achieved. Getting a good yield of ether requires that ether be distilled out of the reaction mixture before it reverts to ethanol.

I reacted ethyl magnesium chloride in diethyl ether with acetone, then reacted it with hydrochloric acid, and got 2-methyl-2-butanol.

Get the Deeshy mug.An offensive extremely racist term for a person of Scottish origin.
Calling someone a "Dethy" is a collective way of calling somebody a rapist, pedophile or someone with a strong yearning or desire to have sexual intercourse with a person under the age of 18.
In several places in the UK it is considered as bad or vulgar as using the word "Nigger" to describe a colored person.
It is often used in the same context as "Gay", meaning it is often used as an insult as opposed to actually describing somebody in this context.
