Concept explainers
Interpretation:
A complete, detailed mechanism is to be drawn for the given reaction.
Concept introduction:
One way to synthesize diethyl ether is to heat ethanol in the presence of a strong acid. This is an example of a nucleophilic substitution reaction. In the first step of the mechanism, the strong acid will protonate the OH group in ethanol. This is a proton transfer reaction.
This step is necessary. If nucleophilic substitution were to take place first instead, the leaving group would come off as
