Are all ethers created equally with concern to these properties? For example, the contrast between diethyl ether, THF, Dioxane, and dimethyl ether.
Diethyl ether is something I'd rather not purchase, as it is List II here, but THF or Dioxane, don't seem to have any stigma.
And as a last quickie question, that is very very important: Is dry dioxane ether suitable for the Grignard Reaction? Would there be any problems due to its use that you know of? Dioxane is very easy to make. I will not buy diethyl ether, and THF is kind of expensive.
