how does TRIETHYLAMINE react with ETHER?

Question

what does the structure of triethylamine look like when reacting with ether. it is soluble.

because the N in the triethylamine does NOT have a hydrogen attached to it, it just has 2 electrons, i dont understand how it reacts with ether? will it take a hydrogen molecule from one of the carbons in the ether?

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

Triethylamine doesn't react with ether. There are no places where each could donate its nonbonding electrons to the other in a Lewis acid-base reaction, for example. And as you point out, there is no exchangeable N-H.
