Step by step solution

01

Ethers

Ethers are the compounds having an oxygen atom in the centre, and on the two sides, alkoxy groups are present, represented as R-O-R.Here, R is the alkoxy groups attached. An example of ether is ethyl methyl ether or methoxyethane.

02

The name of the ether

a) The two isopropyl (R=CH(CH3)2) groups are attached to O of ether in the given compound. Thus, the name of the ether is Diisopropyl ether.
