Product Description
Diethyl ether, also known as ethyl ether, is a versatile solvent widely used in laboratories for extraction, synthesis, and analytical procedures. This high-purity, analytical-grade diethyl ether from Merck ensures reliable results in sensitive applications. Whether you’re a student, researcher, or educator, this 4 L bottle provides an ample supply for your lab needs.
Commonly used in organic chemistry, diethyl ether is valued for its low polarity and excellent solvency for nonpolar compounds. It’s also a key reagent in Grignard reactions and other organic syntheses. The 4 L pack size is ideal for frequent use, reducing the need for constant reordering.
When handling diethyl ether, always follow proper safety protocols due to its high flammability and volatility. Store it in a cool, well-ventilated area away from ignition sources. For best results, use it in a fume hood to minimize exposure.
