Product Overview
Bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, also known as diglyme, is a high-purity solvent supplied at 99% purity with extra dry treatment over molecular sieves to ensure minimal moisture content. This product is packaged under the AcroSeal® system, which guarantees long-term stability and protection against atmospheric contamination. The extra dry grade makes it particularly suitable for applications where trace water can interfere with reactions or analytical processes. Its low volatility and high boiling point provide a stable environment for extended experimental procedures. The solvent is chemically inert, making it compatible with a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds. Its polar aprotic nature enhances solubility for various substrates, facilitating efficient reaction conditions. The molecular sieve treatment ensures consistent performance in moisture-sensitive applications, while the AcroSeal® packaging maintains purity during storage and handling.
FAQs
1. What is the moisture content in this extra dry grade?
The extra dry grade is treated over molecular sieves to reduce moisture content to less than 50 ppm, ensuring suitability for moisture-sensitive applications.
2. Is this product compatible with lithium-based reagents?
Yes, bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether is commonly used as a solvent for lithium-based reagents due to its ability to stabilize reactive intermediates.
3. Can this be used as a direct replacement for THF in reactions?
While it shares some properties with THF, its higher boiling point and different polarity may require adjustments in reaction conditions.
4. How should this solvent be stored for long-term use?
Store in a cool, dry place under inert gas (preferably nitrogen) with the container tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption.
5. What is the shelf life of this product in unopened AcroSeal® packaging?
The product maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months when stored under recommended conditions in unopened AcroSeal® packaging.
