Isopentyl ether Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLOURLESS LIQUID

Uses

Isoamyl ether has been used in the synthesis of:

  • silver nanoparticles in a continuous flow tubular microreactor
  • single-crystal Ag nanocubes (with slight truncation) of around 13.5nm in edge length

Uses

Isopentyl ether is used in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles in a continuous flow tubular microreactor,single-crystal Ag nanocubes (with slight truncation) of around 13.5nm in edge length.

Uses

Solvent in Grignard reaction; also as solvent of odorous principles; manufacture of lacquers; regenerating rubber.

Definition

ChEBI: Diisoamyl ether is an ether.

Flammability and Explosibility

Flammable

Purification Methods

Isopentyl ether is a mixture of 2-and 3-methylbutyl ether. It is purified by refluxing with sodium for 5hours, then it is distilled under reduced pressure, to remove alcohols. Isoamyl ether can also be dried with CaCl2 and fractionally distilled from P2O5. [Beilstein 1 IV 1682.]
