DIOCTYL ETHER Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

Dioctyl ether has been used in the preparation of:

  • 11nm-sized monodisperse iron nanoparticles
  • cobalt ferrite nanocrystals with a particle diameter of 6nm
  • CoPt-polymer nanostructured composites

Uses

dicaprylyl ether is a skin-conditioning agent.

Definition

ChEBI: 1,1'-Oxybisoctane is an ether.

General Description

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.

Reactivity Profile

DIOCTYL ETHER, an ether, can act as a base. 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.
