Ethers are class of organic compounds that contain ether group – an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl groups or aryl groups. They have the general formula R – O – R′, where R and R′ represents the alkyl or aryl groups. Ether, like water have a tetrahedral geometry i.e., oxygen is sp3 hybridised. The C – O – C bond angle in ethers is slightly greater than the tetrahedral angle due to repulsive interactions between the two bulky groups when they are attached to oxygen. |
The IUPAC name of the ether |
Alkyl methyl ether 1-Methoxyprop-2-ene 3-Methoxyprop-1-ene Vinyl dimethyl ether |
3-Methoxyprop-1-ene |
The correct answer is option 3. 3-Methoxyprop-1-ene. |
