Just a very quick question.
Ethers are such compounds as Methoxymethane and Propoxyoctane. The shortened structural forumlae for these are [tex]CH_3 O CH_3[/tex] and [tex]C_3 H_7 O C_8 H_{17}[/tex]. I was wondering if it was possible to get an Ether with two oxygen atoms dividing the hydrocarbon groups;
E.g. Methdioxymethane [tex]CH_3 (O)_2 CH_3[/tex]
Propdioxyoctance [tex]C_3 H_7 (O)_2 C_8 H_{17}[/tex]
Cheers.
