To this already ethereal solution the technician added more liquid to dilute it 1 to 10 once again.

On prolonged heating at 100-160 C, or when stood under light as an ethereal solution, it decomposes to hexamethyldisilane:

It co-crystallizes with one molecule of ether as white silky needles, (m.p. 24-25 C) upon cooling ethereal solutions.

Explosions may occur from concentrating unstable impurities during evaporation, for example when rotavapping an ethereal solution containing peroxides.

Diazomethane is prepared by hydrolysis of an ethereal solution of an N-methyl nitrosamide with aqueous base.

For example, the nucleophilic aliphatic substitution reaction of an aqueous sodium cyanide solution with an ethereal solution of 1-bromooctane does not readily occur.

In 1851, Cloez and Italian chemist Stanislao Cannizzaro, working on collaborative research, prepared cyanamide by the action of ammonia on cyanogen chloride in ethereal solution.

This solution was added dropwise at 0 C (ice bath) to an anhydrous ethereal solution of diazomethane (50 ml, 20 mmol, predried over sodium metal) with vigorous stirring under nitrogen.

LiCl is removed by filtration from an ethereal solution of LAH, with subsequent precipitation of LAH to yield a product containing around 1% w/w LiCl.

There he gained an introduction to Michel Eugène Chevreul's laboratory, and in conjunction with F.S. Cloez (1817 - 1883) made his first contribution to chemical research, in 1851, when they prepared cyanamide by the action of ammonia on cyanogen chloride in ethereal solution.
