Monoglyme cas 110-71-4

 

Ethylene glycol dimethyl ether is also called monoglyme, DME, EGDME or 1,2-dimethoxyethane. It is an excellent aprotic solvent, which is almost unlimited miscible with water, but also with many organic compounds. For example, organic compounds can be reacted with salts or it can also be used for oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. It is often used as part of the electrolyte of lithium manganese dioxide cells.

The clear liquid has an ethereal odor, has a molar mass of 90.12 g / mol, a density of 0.87 g / cm (20 ° C), a refractive index of 1.3770 (25 ° C) and a vapor pressure of 78 hPa (20 ° C). The density is 0.87 g / cm, the melting point is -58 ° C, and the boiling point is 84 ° C.

Ethylene glycol dimethyl ether may form explosive peroxides when exposed to air in the presence of light. It is also highly flammable and forms with air between 1.6 and 10.4% by volume explosive mixtures.
