Like alcohols, ethers undergo α cleavage by breaking a carbon-carbon bond between an alkyl group and the carbon bonded to the ether oxygen atom; that is, the red C-C bond in R-CH2OR1 is broken. With this in mind, propose structures for the fragments formed by ct cleavage of (CH3)2CHCH2OCH2CH3. Suggest a reason why an ether fragments by α cleavage.
