Properties and stability

1. Stable under normal temperature and pressure. Incompatible materials: strong oxidants, strong acids.

2. It is flammable and can form explosive peroxides.

Storage method

Keep sealed.

Synthesis method

1. Mainly adopts the synthesis method of diethanol monomethyl ether and thionyl chloride. Chlorine the diethanol monomethyl ether with thionyl chloride, and then convert the diethanol monomethyl ether into sodium alkoxide, then perform a condensation reaction between the two, and finally obtain it through filtration and vacuum distillation.

Purpose

1. Used as a solvent and gas chromatography stationary solution (maximum operating temperature 75°C, solvents are acetone, methanol), which can selectively retain and separate many oxygen- and nitrogen-containing functional groups as well as oxygen and nitrogen heterocyclic compounds. It also has high selectivity for aromatic compounds. It can separate normal and branched alkanes and cycloalkanes for aliphatic hydrocarbons. It is suitable for aqueous solution analysis and can directly measure water. There is less tailing of water peaks.

2.Cosmetic solvents. It is mainly used as the main solvent for cosmetics such as nail polish. It is an excellent solvent for cellulose and is called a cellosolve.
