[(hexyloxy)methyl]oxirane Chemical Properties,Usage,Production
General Description
Clear colorless liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
Ethers tend to form unstable peroxides when exposed to oxygen. Ethyl, isobutyl, ethyl tert-butyl, and ethyl tert-pentyl ether are particularly hazardous in this respect. Ether peroxides can sometimes be observed as clear crystals deposited on containers or along the surface of the liquid. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Ethers can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.
Fire Hazard
Flash point data for [(hexyloxy)methyl]oxirane are not available. [(hexyloxy)methyl]oxirane is probably combustible.
