DIETHYLENE GLYCOL BIS(2-CHLOROETHYL) ETHER Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Colorless liquid. Slightly soluble in water. Combustible.

Uses

High-boiling solvent and extractant for oils, fats, waxes, and greases; chemical intermediate.

Reactions

Bis[2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethyl] ether was used in preparation of series of para-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenoxypoly(ethoxy)ethanols. It was used in the synthesis of 1-(4-pyridiniumaldoxime)-2-(((2-chloroethoxy)-2-ethoxy)ethoxy)ethane.

Structure and conformation

The x-ray crystal structures of the monomers show that diethylene glycol bis(2-chloroethyl) ether is planar with a small dipole moment. The solubility of this compound is determined by its ability to form hydrogen bonds.
