Diisopropyl ether (DIPE) CAS 108-20-3
DEEPE is used as an effective and water-insoluble solvent in laboratories and industry. Its non-toxicity and low reactivity promote extraction and synthetic processes with minimal adverse reactions.
Chemical structure and synthesis
DIISOPROPYL ETHER has a symmetrical structure:
(CH3)2CHOCH(CH3)2
It is obtained by dehydration of isopropanol using acid catalysts.
Physico-chemical properties
Colorless liquid with low viscosity and boiling point, low polar, easily evaporating, which makes it in demand for the rapid dissolution of organic substances.
Application
It is used as a solvent in extractions, synthesis of organic compounds and analytical procedures, as well as as a diluent for reaction mixtures.
Conclusion
Diisopropyl ether (DIPE) is an effective solvent with good physico-chemical characteristics, which makes it possible to successfully apply it in a number of laboratory and technological processes.
