Riedel-de Haen Diethyl ether contains BHT as inhibitor, puriss. p.a., ACS reagent, reag. ISO, reag. Ph. Eur., =99.8%

Diethyl ether (DEE) is widely employed as solvent for Grignard synthesis. Its efficacy as solvent for formalin-ether (F-E) sedimentation technique has been studied. It has been reported as a hydroboration solvent. DEE is a promising compression-ignition fuel and its energy density is much higher than ethanol. It is also one of the components in a blend used in diesel fuel. It can also be used as alternative of diesel fuel.

Application: Diethyl ether may be employed as solvent for the oxidation of secondary alcohols into ketones. It may be employed as solvent in the preparation of triblock copolymer of PCL-PEG-PCL, acrylated PCL-PEG-PCL and the pentablock copolymer PAE-PCL-PEG-PCL-PAE [PAE = poly(ß-amino ester), PEG = poly(ethylene glycol), PCL = poly(e-caprolactone)].
