ether: References & Edit History

An essential resource for understanding the reactions of organic compounds, including ethers, is Michael Smith and Jerry March, March’s Advanced Organic Chemistry: Reactions, Mechanisms, and Structure, 6th ed. (2007). Carl R. Noller, Chemistry of Organic Compounds, 3rd ed. (1965), is a classic textbook using an older style of teaching organic chemistry, with heavy emphasis on history, industrial chemistry, and nomenclature. Specific information about ethers can be found in Saul Patai (ed.), The Chemistry of the Ether Linkage (1967), The Chemistry of the Hydroxyl Group, 2 vol. (1971), and The Chemistry of Ethers, Crown Ethers, Hydroxyl Groups, and Their Sulphur Analogues, 2 vol. (1980).
