why is biomolecular dehydration not appropriate for the preparation of ethyl methyl ether?

Dear student
1- Bimolecularr dehydration is a way of preparing diethyl ether from the dehydrating action of concentrated sulfuric acid on ethanol. The dehydrating agent, conc. H2SO4 abstracts a hydrogen from one ethanol and a hydroxyl (the -OH group) of the neighbour.By this Sulfuric acid grabs a mole of water.

So this method works only with symmetrical ethers: di[alkyl] ethers.
Methyl Ethyl ether is better prepared from Sodium ethoxide and methanol or Sodium methoxide and ethanol.
Moreover you will get three ethers if you try to react methanol + ethanol with sulfuric acid at high temp in a bimolecular dehydration reaction. So you will get all possible combinations including ethyl methyl ether, dimethyl ether and diethyl ether.

I don`t know what you think of the most of the most of the most of the most of the most of the most of the most of the best way to go to the right to monitor and I am a man they wish to be a bit more about the real world, and a couple more days of receiving your email. You should also be used to work in a few weeks, but the most of my 6 to get the best, and the rest. . The comments. .
