Product Description
Ethyl Isopropyl Ether, with CAS No. 625-54-7, is a high-purity organic fine chemical belonging to the ether compound series, also known as 2-Ethoxypropane. It appears as a colorless to almost colorless transparent liquid, with a slight characteristic ether odor, uniform texture and no visible impurities. This product has stable physical and chemical properties, excellent solubility in most organic solvents, and moderate volatility, bridging the gap between the high volatility of diethyl ether and the chemical inertness of methyl tert-butyl ether. It is widely used in organic synthesis, chemical research, extraction processes and spectral analysis fields, serving as a solvent for recrystallization and purification of organic compounds, a reaction medium for certain organic reactions, an extraction agent for natural product separation, and a solvent for infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, providing reliable support for industrial production, scientific research and laboratory experiments
1. Physical Properties
Ethyl Isopropyl Ether is a colorless to almost colorless transparent liquid, with a slight characteristic ether odor, no sediment, suspended matter or mechanical impurities, and good fluidity. Its molecular weight is 88.15 Da, density is 0.73 g/cm3 at 20℃, boiling point is 51℃, and flash point is -24℃, which is a highly flammable liquid with moderate volatility. It has a refractive index of 1.3620-1.3640 at 20℃, is soluble in most organic solvents, and slightly soluble in water, with a water solubility of 24.09g/L (temperature not stated). It is less volatile than diethyl ether, which helps reduce solvent loss during use.
2. Chemical Properties
As an aliphatic ether compound, it has stable chemical properties under normal temperature and pressure, with an achiral structure and no optical activity. It consists of an ethyl group and an isopropyl group linked through an oxygen atom, and can participate in relevant organic reactions. It has moderate acid stability, and is more prone to peroxide formation than methyl tert-butyl ether due to the presence of a secondary carbon adjacent to the oxygen atom, requiring regular peroxide testing during storage and use. It is compatible with common organic reagents and does not react easily under normal conditions, making it suitable as a reaction medium and solvent.
3. Storage & Safety Properties
Storage: It should be stored in a dry, cool, well-ventilated and sealed environment, avoiding high temperature, open flame, direct sunlight and heat sources. It is recommended to store at 0-10℃, and keep away from strong oxidants and other harmful substances. The packaging should be kept intact to prevent leakage, volatilization and contamination. Due to its tendency to form peroxides, it should be used within the shelf life and regularly tested for peroxides.
Safety: It is a highly flammable liquid (GHS02, signal word: Danger), and its vapor and air can form an explosive mixture, which is easy to ignite and burn. It may cause mild skin and eye irritation. When operating, appropriate protective equipment (gloves, goggles, face mask) should be worn, and operate in a well-ventilated environment with no smoking or open flame nearby. Anti-static measures should be taken during handling, and explosion-proof electrical equipment should be used. In case of contact with skin or eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water immediately. In case of fire, use dry sand, dry chemical fire extinguishing agent or alcohol-resistant foam to put out the fire.
