Diethyl ether, or simply ether, is an organic compound in the ether class with the formula (C2H5)2O, sometimes abbreviated as Et
2O (see Pseudo element symbols). It is a colorless, highly volatile, sweet-smelling (“Ethereal odor”), extremely flammable liquid. It is commonly used as a solvent in laboratories and as a starting fluid for some engines. It was formerly used as a general anesthetic, until non-flammable drugs were developed, such as halothane. It has been used as a recreational drug to cause intoxication. It is a structural isomer of butanol.
Diethyl ether has a high cetane number of 85–96 and is used as a starting fluid, in combination with petroleum distillates for gasoline and Diesel engines because of its high volatility and low flashpoint. Ether starting fluid is sold and used in countries with cold climates, as it can help with cold starting an engine at sub-zero temperatures. For the same reason, it is also used as a component of the fuel mixture for carbureted compression ignition model engines. In this way, diethyl ether is very similar to one of its precursors, ethanol.
Ether was once used in pharmaceutical formulations. A mixture of alcohol and ether, one part of diethyl ether and three parts of ethanol, was known as “Spirit of ether”, Hoffman’s Anodyne, or Hoffman’s Drop.
