Abstract

See full text

Methods of synthesizing and purifying ethers are described. The synthesis and purification are achieved using an etherification technique followed by one or two fractional distillations. The etherification utilizes an element having low work function properties. Examples of low work function elements include, but are not limited to, metals or their hydrides, such as sodium, lithium or potassium or some combination thereof. This technique yields ethers of greater than 90% purity.
