Reactive GroupEthers
Reactivity AlertsHighly Flammable
Reactivity Profile
Ethers, such as ETHYL PROPYL 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.
Chemistry & industry
Applications
UsesEthyl Propyl Ether (cas# 628-32-0) is used in the composition of methanol fuel for vehicles which solves the problems of vehicle methanol fuel meeting water and low temperature stratification, rubber swelling, metal corrosion, hot air resistance, and cold start.
General DescriptionA colorless liquid with an ether-like odor. Less dense than water. Flash point below 0°F. Vapors heavier than air. Used to make other chemicals.
