| Diethylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether Usage And Synthesis |
| Description | Bis (2-methoxyethyl) ether, also known as diglyme, is a linear
aliphatic diether widely used as a solvent and present as a clear
liquid at room temperature with a mild ether odor. The
compound is notknown to occur in nature. It is synthesized from
ethylene oxide and methanol in the presence of either acidic or
basic catalysts. The reaction is based on the classic Williamson
ether synthesis. It can also be produced from diethylene glycol
and dimethyl sulfate. In June 2012, ECHA proposed addition of
diglyme to the REACH very high concern list. | | Chemical Properties | Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is a clear, water-white neutral liquid of faint, pleasant odor. This ether may be used as a solvent for alkali metal hydrides for use in such reactions as reduction, alkylation and condensation. It may also be used as a lacquer solvent.
| | Uses | Solvent; it is used as reaction medium for Grignard and similar synthesis. | | Uses | Solvent; reaction medium for Grignard and similar syntheses. | | Uses | Bis (2-methoxyethyl) ether, due to being chemically inert and
possessing excellent solvent properties, is mainly used as
a solvent and an anhydrous reaction medium for organometallic
synthesis. It is also used as a solubilizer. | | Uses | Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is used as a solvent in organic reactions due to its stability towards higher pH and its high boiling point. It is particularly involved in reactions utilizing organometallic reagents such as Grignard reactions and metal hydride reductions. It is also a solvent for hydroboration reactions with diborane. | | Definition | ChEBI: A polyether that is the dimethyl ether derivative of diethylene glycol. | | General Description | Colorless watery liquid with a pleasant odor. Floats and mixes with water. | | Air & Water Reactions | 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)]. Water soluble. | | Reactivity Profile | A violent explosion occurred when lithium aluminum hydride was being used to dry 2-Methoxyethyl ether. The ignition may have occurred due to the presence of large amounts of water or perhaps peroxide formed in the ether. About 75% of the ether had been removed when the explosion occurred, [MCA Case History 1494 (1968)]. | | Health Hazard | INGESTION (severe cases): nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, weakness progressing to coma. | | Fire Hazard | 2-Methoxyethyl ether is combustible. | | Flammability and Explosibility | Flammable | | Chemical Reactivity | Reactivity with Water No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No reaction; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent. | | Environmental Fate | The metabolite 2-methoxyacetic acid, which is generated from
2-methroxyethanol by the reaction of alcohol dehydrogenase,
may be important for the toxic effects. It can undergo activation
to methoxyacetyl coenzyme A and enter the Krebs cycle or fatty
acid biosynthesis. Several metabolites of 2-methoxyethanol,
such as 2-methoxy-N-acetyl glycine, have been identified that
support this pathway. Thus, 2-methoxyacetic acid may interfere
with essential metabolic pathways of the cell, and it was
hypothesized that this causes the testicular lesions and malformations
in experimental animals. | | Purification Methods | Dry diglyme with NaOH pellets or CaH2, then reflux with, and distil (under reduced pressure) it from Na, CaH2, LiAlH4, NaBH4 or NaH. These operations are carried out under N2. The amine-like odour of diglyme has been removed by shaking with a weakly acidic ion-exchange resin (Amberlite IR-120) before drying and distilling. Addition of 0.01% NaBH4 to the distillate inhibits peroxidation. Purify it also as for dioxane. It has been passed through a 12-in column of molecular sieves to remove water and peroxides. [Beilstein 1 IV 2393.] | | Toxicity evaluation | Bis (2-methoxyethyl) ether will present as
a vapor, when released to air, at a vapor pressure of
2.96 mmHg at 25°C. The vapor phase is easily degraded in
the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced
hydroxyl radicals. The half-life for the reaction is estimated
to be 22 h. Bis (2-methoxyethyl) ether does not contain
chromophores that will absorb at wavelengths >290 nm
and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct
photolysis by sunlight.Bis (2-methoxyethyl) ether has very high
mobility in soil based on the estimated Koc of 15, when released to soil. It may volatilize from dry soil surfaces
based upon its vapor pressure.
Aquatic fate: Bis (2-methoxyethyl) ether does not absorb to
suspended solids and sediments when released into water.
Hydrolysis is not an important environmental matter
because bis (2-methoxyethyl) ether does not contain
a functional group that can hydrolyze under environmental
conditions. |
