Properties and stability
1. Chemical properties: stable in nature and difficult to react. But it can react with hydrogen iodide, hydrogen bromide and concentrated sulfuric acid. In the presence of acidic catalysts, decomposition can occur at high temperatures. Stable to alkali metals below 150°C, metallic sodium can be dried with ethylene glycol dialkyl ether. But it can react with sodium-potassium alloy or potassium. Phenyllithium and butyllithium slightly decompose ethylene glycol dimethyl ether. It does not react with low-activity Grignard reagents such as methylmagnesium chloride under normal conditions, but it decomposes when heated to 150~200°C with highly active reagents such as methylmagnesium iodide. It is stable to alkali metal hydrides and can be used as a stabilizer and refining agent for lithium aluminum hydride. Peroxide is generated under the action of oxygen, and light and heat promote the generation of peroxide. The generated peroxide is unstable and decomposes into aldehydes, ketones, acids and other impurities.
2. Stability[17] Stable
3. Incompatible substances[18] Strong oxidants, strong acids
4. Conditions to avoid contact [19] Air, light
5. Hazards of aggregation[20] No aggregation
Storage method
Storage Precautions[21] Usually products contain stabilizers. Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The storage temperature should not exceed 37°C, and the packaging must be sealed and not in contact with air. They should be stored separately from oxidants and acids, and avoid mixed storage. Use explosion-proof lighting and ventilation facilities. It is prohibited to use mechanical equipment and tools that are prone to sparks. The storage area should be equipped with emergency release equipment and suitable containment materials.
Synthesis method
1. Obtained from the reaction of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and metal sodium; methyl chloride. Reflux ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and metal sodium together until the metal sodium reacts completely, cool the temperature to 45°C, and introduce methyl chloride. After the reaction is completed, perform fractional distillation and collect the 84-85.5°C fraction to obtain the finished product.
Refining method: The testing method for peroxide is the same as that for ether. The peroxides can be removed by refluxing with stannous chloride or by passing through activated alumina. Then add a small amount of metallic sodium to remove trace amounts of moisture. Other refining methods include drying with sodium wire and distilling with lithium aluminum hydride under nitrogen flow. You can also dry it with anhydrous calcium chloride for a few days, filter, add metallic sodium for distillation, or add lithium aluminum hydride to preserve it, and distill it before use.
2. Add metal sodium to ethylene glycol monomethyl ether in small amounts at 60°C while stirring. Control the temperature at 78-81°C. After adding metal sodium, cool down to 45°C. , and then pass in methyl chloride. The reaction formula is:
After the reaction is completed , distill, and collect the 84.5-85.5°C fraction to obtain ethylene glycol dimethyl ether.
3. After drying with sodium wire, add lithium aluminum hydride for distillation in the presence of nitrogen. You can also use anhydrous calcium chloride to dry for several days, filter out the calcium chloride, and then add metallic sodium for distillation, or Add lithium aluminum hydride and let it stand for distillation.
Purpose
1. Used as a solvent for nitrocellulose, resin, etc. and a solvent for preparing alkali metal oxides and borane. Aromatic hydrocarbons such as naphthalene, biphenyl, terphenyl, and anthracene form complexes with sodium in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether. Sodium-naphthalene complex is used for surface treatment when bonding fluorine-containing resins such as polytetrafluoroethylene. Sodium-biphenyl complex is used for the determination of halogens in gasoline. It can also be used to recover acetic acid from dilute acetic acid aqueous solution. It is also used as paint remover, thinner and to increase the viscosity of lubricating oil.
2. Used as solvents, pharmaceutical extraction agents, organic synthesis intermediates, catalysts, and corrosion inhibitors. [22]
