By a proper choice of reagents, both symmetrical and unsymmetrical ethers can be prepared by Williamson synthesis which involves the reaction between an alkyl halide and an alkoxide ion. The reverse process involving the cleavage of ethers to give back the original alkyl halide and the alcohol can be carried out by heating the ether with HI at 373 K.
