Dibenzyl Ether

Ethers are formed by the condensation of two alcohols. They are similar to alcohols but are generally less dense, less soluble in water, and have lower boiling points.

They are relatively unreactive chemically. This unreactive property makes ethers valuable as solvents. Benzyl Ether is a used flavoring agent (sweet, Spicy, mushroom, fruity, floral) and used as a perfumery fixer. It is used as a solvent for cellulose.

Since benzyl chloride is quite volatile at room temperature, it can easily reach the mucous membranes where the hydrolysis takes place with production of hydrochloric acid. This explains why benzyl chloride is a lachrymator and has been used as a war gas. It is also very irritating to the skin. Benzyl chloride also reacts readily with metallic magnesium to produce a Grignard Reagent. A commonly used parent compound is benzyl bromide.
