1,2-Dimethoxyethane Usage And Synthesis
Chemical Properties Colorless liquid
Usage Solvent commonly employed in organometallic reactions,1 particularly organolithium reactions.2 May also function as a ligand.3
General Description A liquid with a sharp odor. Less dense than water. Flash point 34°F. Mildly toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Severely irritates skin and eyes. Vapors heavier than air. Used to make other chemicals.
Air & Water Reactions Highly flammable. Slightly soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile When the solvent, 1,2-Dimethoxyethane, was poured into a funnel previously used to introduce the lithium aluminum hydride, a fire ignited the funnel, [MCA Case History 1182(1966)].
Health Hazard If ingested causes nausea, vomiting, cramps, weakness, coma.
Fire Hazard Behavior in Fire: Containers may explode in fires.
