What subtances dissolve in ether?

Ether, particularly diethyl ether, is a nonpolar solvent and is effective at dissolving nonpolar and weakly polar substances. This includes organic compounds such as oils, fats, and many hydrocarbons. Additionally, some aromatic compounds and certain alkaloids can also dissolve in ether due to their nonpolar characteristics. However, polar substances, like salts and sugars, typically do not dissolve well in ether.
