Question
Draw structure of all isomeric ethers having molecular formula $\mathrm{C}_5 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}$.

Answer

Six different structural isomers of ethers can be drawn from molecular formula $\mathrm{C}_5 \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}$.
  1. $\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{O}-\text{CH}_3$
  2. $\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{OCH}_3$
  3. $\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{OCH}_3\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3$
  4. $ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{CH}_3\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\\text{CH}_3-\text{C}-\text{CH}_3\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{OCH}_3$
  5. $\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}_2-\text{CH}_2-\text{O}-\text{C}_2\text{H}_5$
  6. $\text{CH}_3-\text{CH}-\text{CH}_3\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{OC}_2\text{H}_5$
