What does your textbook say about Example 7.6?
Phenols are also converted to ethers by this method. In this, phenol is used as the phenoxide moiety. The C-O bonds in ethers are polar and thus, ethers have a net dipole moment. The weak polarity of ethers do not appreciably affect their boiling points which are comparable to those of the alkanes of comparable molecular masses but are much lower than the boiling points of alcohols as shown in the following cases: Formula
