dialiphatic Ether → Alcohol + Aldehyde<br>aromatic-aliphatic Ether → Phenol derivative + Aldehyde<br><br>Comments:<br>Does NOT handle ethers when the vincinal carbons are halogenated. When given an aromatic-aliphatic ether, Ar-O-R1, it will produce ArOH + R1CHO. When given a dialiphatic ether, R1-O-R2, it will produce both R1-OH + R2CHO, and R2-OH + R1-CHO. This rule will only act on ring ethers containing tertiary or quartiary carbon atoms neighboring the oxygen. It will not act on a diaromatic ether, Ar1-O-Ar2. Rule is blocked from acting on CoA.
