Hold the freaking phone everybody!! I did NOT use drain cleaner for this! I keep that as a drying agent.
Everything I used was ACS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The smells were, are, sharp, painful to the nose.. lachromating and also sweet above the ether smell. It is a complex, unmixed so to speak, mixture
where you can pick out the separate notes and one of these is a lot like an anhydride and another is a lot like an ester.
what if overheating lead to a minor amount of acetic acid formation? from there we'd get esters and anhydrides ...I'd love to get on someone's
GC/MS....
I know the sulfate is there but no idea what it smells like...

Send me a sample, I'll run it.
Neither flask nor beaker.

Well mine got to over 175 and I ended up with sweet and choking. I have it in a flask and will run it on my IR as soon as the sample holders and
pens get here.

Flash update-still haven't sent Fleaker the sample seems I'm out of VOA's. However I ran across a reactionm I should have remembered, the Fischer
ester synthesis in which a mineral acid is used with a carboxylic acid to make an ester. So question is then, did the higher temp and strong acid
lead to acetic acid formation and thence to ethyl acetate? Not as a major product but as a side reax. Have some pens on the way for my IR so maybe
some hard evidence is in the offing. I do trust my nose though and I smell, anhydride and ester in the mix and maybe a peroxy acid? something very
acrid in there at any rate.

There is an article in prepublication detailing synthesis of ether from ethanol, as well as distillation from starting fluid.
