ETER

Senyawa Eter
Sejarah Eter
Eter adalah salah satu zat yang digunakan sebagai anestesi( obat bius). Eter ditemukan seorang ahli kimia berkebangsaan Spanyol, Raymundus Lullius pada tahun 1275.Lullius menamai eter "sweet vitriol".
Eter pertama kali disintesis oleh Valerius Cordus, ilmuwan dari Jerman pada tahun 1640. Kemudian seorang ilmuwan bernama W.G. Frobenius mengubah nama "sweet vitriol" menjadi eter pada tahun 1730.
Sebelum penemuan eter, Priestly menemukan gas nitrogen-oksida pada tahun 1777, dan berselang dua tahun dari temuannya itu, Davy menjelaskan kegunaan gas nitrogen-oksida dalam menghilangkan rasa sakit.
Sebelum tahun 1844, gas eter maupun nitrogen-oksida banyak digunakan untuk pesta mabuk-mabukan. Mereka menamai zat tersebut "gas tertawa", karena efek dari menghirup gas ini membuat orang tertawa dan lupa segalanya.
Penggunaan eter atau gas nitrogen-oksida sebagai penghilang sakit dalam dunia kedokteran sebenarnya sudah dimulai Horace Wells sejak tahun 1844. Sebagai dokter gigi, ia bereksperimen dengan nitrogen-oksida sebagai penghilang rasa sakit kepada pasien saat dicabut giginya. Sayangnya usaha mempertontonkan di depan mahasiswa kedokteran John C. Warren di Rumah Sakit Umum Massachusetts Boston gagal, bahkan mendapat cemoohan. Usahanya diteruskan William Thomas Green Morton.
Morton berpikir untuk menggunakan gas nitrogen-oksida dalam praktiknya sebagaimana yang dilakukan Wells. Kemudian ia meminta gas nitrogen-oksida kepada Charles Jackson, seorang ahli kimia ternama di sekolah kedokteran Harvard. Namun Jackson justru menyarankan eter sebagai pengganti gas nitrogen-oksida.
Morton menemukan efek bius eter lebih kuat dibanding gas nitrogen-oksida. Bahkan pada tahun 1846 Morton mendemonstrasikan penggunaan eter dalam pembedahan di rumah sakit umum Massachusetts. Saat pasien dokter Warren telah siap, Morton mengeluarkan gas eter (atau disebutnya gas letheon) yang telah dikemas dalam suatu kantong gas yang dipasang suatu alat seperti masker. Sesaat pasien yang mengidap tumor tersebut hilang kesadaran dan tertidur. Dokter Warren dengan sigap mengoperasi tumor dan mengeluarkannya dari leher pasien hingga operasi selesai tanpa hambatan berarti. Tanggal 16 Oktober 1846 menjadi hari bersejarah bagi dunia kedokteran. Demonstrasi Morton berhasil dengan baik dan memicu penggunaan eter sebagai anestesi secara besar-besaran.


Rumus Umum
Eter atau alkoksi alkana adalah golongan senyawa yang mempunyai dua gugus alkyl yang terikat pada satu atom oksigen. Dengan demikian eter mempunyai rumus umum :R–O–R1dimana R dan R1adalah gugus alkil, boleh sama boleh tidak
Contoh :
CH3–CH2–O–CH2–CH3
R = R1(eter homogen)
CH3–O–CH2–CH2–CH3
R-R1(eter majemuk)

Penamaan Eter
Ada dua cara penamaan senyawa-senyawa eter, yaitu :
1) Menurut IUPAC, eter diberi nama sesuai nama alkananya dengan awalan “ alkoksi “ dengan ketentuan sebagai berikut :
– rantai karbon terpendek yang mengikat gugus fungsi –O– ditetapkan sebagai gugus fungsi alkoksinya.
– rantai karbon yang lebih panjang diberi nama sesuai senyawa alkananya
2) Menurut aturan trivial, penamaan eter sebagai berikut : menyebutkan nama kedua
gugus alkil yang mengapit gugus –O– kemudian diberi akiran eter.
Rumus Struktur Eter Nama IUPAC Nama Trivial
CH3–CH2–O–CH2–CH3 Etoksi etana Dietil eter / etil etil eter
CH3–O–CH2–CH2–CH3 Metoksi propane Metil propil eter
CH3–CH2–O–CH2–CH2–CH3 Etoksi propane Etil propil eter

Sifat-Sifat Eter
Berbeda dengan senyawa-senyawa alkohol, eter mempunyai sifat-sifat sebagai berikut :
1) Titik didih rendah sehingga mudah menguap
2) Sulit larut dalam air, karena kepolarannya rendah
3) Sebagai pelarut yang baik senyawa-senyawa organik yang tak larut dalam air
4) Mudah terbakar
5) Pada umumnya bersifat racun
6) Bersifat anastetik (membius)
7) Eter sukar bereaksi, kecuali dengan asam halida kuat (HI dan H Br)


Kegunaan Eter
Senyawa-senyawa eter yang umum digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari antara
lain :
.
1) Dietil eter (etoksi etana) biasanya digunakan sebagai pelarut senyawa-senyawa organik.
Selain itu dietil eter banyak digunakan sebagai zat arestesi (obat bius) di rumah sakit.
2) MTBE (Metil Tertier Butil Eter),Senyawa eter ini digunakan untuk menaikan angka oktan besin menggantikan kedudukan TEL / TML, sehingga diperoleh bensin yang ramah lingkungan. Sebab tidak menghasilkan debu timbal (Pb2+) seperti bila digunakan TEL / TML
BeberapaReaksi Eter
Eter adalah golongan senyawa organik yang memiliki rumus umum R-O-R'. Beberapa reaksi dari eter diantaranya adalah:
a. Pembakaran
Eter mudah terbakar membentuk gas karbon dioksida dan uap air.
Contoh:

b. Reaksi dengan Logam Aktif
Berbeda dengan alkohol, eter tidak bereaksi dengan logam natrium (logam aktif).

c. Reaksi dengan PCl5
Eter bereaksi dengan PCl5, tetapi tidak membebaskan HCl.

d. Reaksi dengan Hidrogen Halida (HX)
Eter terurai oleh asam halida, terutama oleh HI. Jika asam halida terbatas:

Jika asam halida berlebihan:

e. Membedakan Alkohol dengan Eter
Alkohol dan eter dapat dibedakan berdasarkan rekasinya dengan logam natrium dan fosforus pentaklorida.
• Alkohol bereaksi dengan logam natrium membebaskan hidrogen, sedangkan eter tidak bereaksi.
• Alkohol bereaksi dengan PCl5 menghasilkan gas HCl, sedangkan eter bereaksi tetapi tidak menghasilkan HCl.
