What Is Hydroxy Compounds?

 Hydroxy compounds are compounds that have a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to an aliphatic or aromatic carbon atom. The hydroxyl group is polar and can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. Hydroxy compounds can be classified into three categories based on the number of hydroxyl groups present:

What Is Ethers?

Ethers are compounds that have an ether group (-O-) linking two alkyl or aryl groups. The ether group is less polar than the hydroxyl group and cannot form hydrogen bonds with other molecules. Ethers can be classified into two categories based on the nature of the alkyl or aryl groups attached to the ether group
