Which of the following is a method for the preparation of ethers?
Correct Answer: Dehydration of two alcohol molecules
  • Step 1: Start with two alcohol molecules. An alcohol is a compound that has an -OH (hydroxyl) group.
  • Step 2: Remove a water molecule (H2O) from the two alcohols. This process is called dehydration.
  • Step 3: When the water is removed, the two alcohol molecules bond together to form an ether.
