2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate Usage And Synthesis

Description

2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate, Reagent is an organic compound that is a colourless, sweet-smelling liquid that is the ester of ethanol and acetic acid. It has a range of uses and is found in many products such as decaffeinated tea and coffee, cigarettes, nail polish remover, and glues. It is manufactured on a large scale as a solvent. In the laboratory, it is used for column chromatography and extraction. Its reagent grade means this is the highest quality commercially available for this chemical and that the American Chemical Society has not officially set any specifications for this material.

Chemical Properties

clear colourless liquid

Uses

Diethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is used as a catalytic agent, petrochemical additive, coating auxiliary agent and in organic synthesis. It is mainly used as metal, furniture paint solvents and as organic intermediate.

General Description

Colorless liquid.

Reactivity Profile

2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

Health Hazard

Exposure can cause irritation of eyes, nose and throat.

Fire Hazard

Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Irritating vapors and toxic gases, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, may be formed when involved in fire.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Safety Profile

by inhalation: lachrymation, conjunctiva
