Ethers are considered good solvents for a large percentage of organic reactions because: 1) they are aprotic and nonhydroxylic compounds. 2) they contain oxygen atoms which can hydrogen bond with water molecules. 3) they are polar and dissolve a large number of organic substances. 4) they are unreactive under most organic reaction conditions. a) 1 & 2 b) 1 & 3 c) 1, 2, & 3 d) 1, 3, and 4 e) 1, 2, 3, and 4

All of the following are properties of ethers except the molecules are polar, but do not form hydrogen bonds with other ether molecules. low molecular weight ethers are flammable and evaporate easily. ethers dissolve readily in water in all proportions. ethers are relatively unreactive. ethers dissolve many organic compounds readily.
