Product Name – DIETHYL CARBONATE 99% For Synthesis Quantity/Pack Size – 500 ml, 2500 ml Form – Liquid Grade – For Synthesis Application – Solvent, organic synthesis, esterification
Product Overview
DIETHYL CARBONATE 99% is a high-purity, synthesis-grade solvent widely used in organic chemistry for its excellent reactivity and stability. This clear, colorless liquid boasts a low viscosity and minimal toxicity, making it a preferred choice for esterification, transesterification, and other synthesis processes. Its high boiling point (126°C) ensures controlled reactions, while its miscibility with organic solvents enhances versatility. The 99% purity guarantees minimal impurities, reducing side reactions and improving yield consistency. As a non-corrosive and environmentally benign alternative to traditional solvents, it is ideal for sensitive applications where precision and reproducibility are critical. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain stability. Compatible with glass and most plastics, but avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents. This product is rigorously tested to meet lab-grade standards, ensuring reliable performance in research and development settings.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of DIETHYL CARBONATE 99% when stored properly?
When stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, it remains stable for up to 24 months.
2. Can this be used as a direct substitute for dimethyl carbonate in reactions?
While both are carbonates, diethyl carbonate has a higher boiling point and different reactivity profiles. Test compatibility in small-scale trials before full substitution.
3. Is this product compatible with stainless steel containers?
Yes, it is non-corrosive to stainless steel, but prolonged exposure to metals should be avoided to prevent potential contamination.
4. What safety precautions should be taken while handling this solvent?
Use in a well-ventilated area or fume hood, wear nitrile gloves, and avoid inhalation. Though low in toxicity, it may cause mild skin irritation.
5. Does eqipped provide bulk discounts for larger quantities?
Yes, bulk pricing is available for orders above 5L. Contact customer support for customized quotes and volume-based offers.
