GLYCIDYL ISOPROPYL ETHER Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

Isopropyl glycidyl ether (IGE) is used to sta-bilize chlorinated solvents and as a viscosityreducer of epoxy resins.

Uses

Reactive diluent for epoxy resins; stabilizer for organic compounds; chemical intermediate for synthesis of ethers and esters

Uses

Glycidyl isopropyl ether is a stabilizer of chlorinated solvents, and viscosity reducer of epoxy resins.

Production Methods

Isopropyl glycidyl ether is manufactured through the condensation of isopropyl alcohol and epichlorohydrin with subsequent dehydrochlorination with caustic to form the epoxy ring.

General Description

Colorless liquid.

Air & Water Reactions

Highly flammable. Water soluble.

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.

Hazard

Flammable liquid with flash p 92F (33.33C). Skin, eye and respiratory tract irritant.

Health Hazard

IGE is a skin and eye irritant with lowtoxicity. Irritation in rabbits’ eyes and skincaused by 100 mg was moderate to low.In humans, frequent skin contact may causedermatitis.
Studies on rats indicated low toxicity ofthis compound with symptoms of respiratorydistress. Prolonged exposure caused ocularirritation and depression of the central ner-vous system. An increase in hemoglobin anda decrease in peritoneal fat was observed.

Health Hazard

Exposure can cause mental confusion and moderate irritation of the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Chronic exposure can cause dermatitis and skin sensitization.

Fire Hazard

Flammable; flash point (closed cup) 33°C (92°F); vapor pressure 9.4 torr at 25°C (77°F); forms explosive mixtures with air, LEL and UEL values not reported; fire- extinguishing agent: use a water spray to extinguish fire.
