Ethier

someone who has many odd obsessions. Possible consisting of longboards, black, jeeps, bikes, motorcycles, super smash bros., thermoses, bagels, guns, collared shirts, vans, his basement, lifting, mel, tents, and other weird obsessions. Although he has weird obsessions, but he's the kid everyone learns to love.

Ethier is one weird kid.

Ethier

The cooler, funnier, and overall better way to spell either. Only people with an IQ above 150 spell Ethier this way (it always has to be capitalized)

Ethier you spell Ethier Ethier or you suck

I don't care if Matt Kemp is on first base, he's not scoring with an ethier at the plate.

Diethyl ether

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.

ether day

a celebratory event that takes place every year on december 4th to commemorate the release of the song "ether" by rapper nas. things to do on ether day: bump ether, bump jay-z crying on hot 97, discuss the long term effects of ether, congratulate people on youtube, etc.

1: damn, twitter, youtube and hip hop boards are filled with this ether shit, what's that?
2: happy ether day

Dibutyl ether

Dibutyl ether is an ether that is used for complex grignard reactions where higher temperatures are needed. Dibutyl ether is good for reacting benzyl magnesium chloride (made from benzyl chloride and magnesium turnings in dibutyl ether) with acetonitrile in dibutyl ether at elevated temperatures. Then reacting it with hydrochloric acid to get Phenyl-2-Propanone. Dibutyl ether increases the yield compared to diethyl ether. Dibutyl ether is produced by reacting butanol with sulfuric acid. The temperature cannot be too high, as butanol could dehydrate into butene (1-butene). The ether must be stored with butylated hydroxytoluene as explosive peroxides can form.
