question 1 give vastly different products. Using a non-halous acid (acids that do not contain halogens, such as sulfuric or phosphoric acids) in the presence of a very simple alcohol can product ethers. The overall reaction for the industrial synthesis of ethers is shown below. H+ 130-140 °C 2 Draw in the curved arrows for each step of the cleavage of synthesis of diethyl ether from ethanol. Step 1 is protonation Step 2 is SN2 Step 3 is deprotonation OH OH OH COH₂
