Di-n-butyl ether Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties	colourless liquid with ether-like odour
General Description	A clear colorless liquid with an ethereal odor. Flash point below 141°F. Less dense than water and insoluble in water. Vapors heavier than air. Irritates the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract.
Air & Water Reactions	Highly flammable. Oxidizes readily in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick 1979 p.151-154, 164]. A mixture of liquid air and diethyl ether exploded spontaneously [MCA Case History 616 1960]. Insoluble in water.
Reactivity Profile	Ethers, such as BUTYL ETHER 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.
Health Hazard	Inhalation causes irritation of nose and throat. Liquid irritates eyes and may irritate skin on prolonged contact. Ingestion causes irritation of mouth and stomach.
Fire Hazard	Behavior in Fire: Vapor is heavier than air and may travel a considerable distance to a source of ignition and flash back.
