109-59-1 Usage
Chemical Properties
colourless liquid
Uses
Different sources of media describe the Uses of 109-59-1 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. 2-Isopropoxyethanol was used to study the products of the gas-phase reactions of OH radical with n-butyl methyl ether and 2-isopropoxyethanol in the presence of NO. 2-Isopropoxyethanol was used to develop methodology for evaluating electromagnetic sensor performance in nonrelaxing and nonconducting (e.g., sandy soil) media
2. Ethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether (EGIE) is used as a solvent for resins, dyes, and cellulose esters, and in coatings..
3. Solvent in latex paints, lacquers, and
other coatings, resins, coalescing aids, and coupling
solvents
General Description
A clear liquid. Density 0.903 g / cm3. Flash point 114°F. An irritant.
Air & Water Reactions
Flammable. Oxidizes in air to form unstable peroxides that may explode spontaneously [Bretherick, 1979 p.151-154, 164]. Water soluble .
Reactivity Profile
2-ISOPROPOXYETHANOL acts both as an alcohol and ether. May react violently with strong oxidizing agents. May generate flammable and/or toxic gases with alkali metals, nitrides, and other strong reducing agents. May initiate the polymerization of isocyanates and epoxides.
Hazard
Combustible liquid with flash p 49C. Toxic
by skin absorption.
Health Hazard
Different sources of media describe the Health Hazard of 109-59-1 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. EGIE shows low toxicity from inhalation, ingestion, and skin absorption. The toxic symptomsaresimilartothoseproducedbythe butyl ether of the ethylene glycol. The effects noted in rats from exposure to 1000 ppm for 6 hours were hemoglobinuria, anemia, and lung congestion (Gage 1970). Other effectsobservedwereincreasesintheosmotic fragility of the red blood cells. Such effects were manifested at EGIE concentrations of >200 ppm. A 4-hour exposure to 4000 ppm was lethal to rats. In human exposure to this compound can result in anemiaLD50 value, oral (rats): 5660 mg/kgNo testicular toxicity was observed in rats from a single exposure to 3500 ppm of EGIE in air (Doe 1984)..
2. May be harmful by inhalation, ingestion or skin absorption. May cause skin and eye irritation.
Fire Hazard
Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Emits toxic fumes when heated upon decomposition.
Waste Disposal
Chemical incineration is the most suitable method of destruction. Drain disposal may be done for small amounts of EGIE.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 109-59-1 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,0 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 9 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 109-59:
(5*1)+(4*0)+(3*9)+(2*5)+(1*9)=51
51 % 10 = 1
So 109-59-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

PROCESS FOR PREPARING AN ALKOXYLATED ALCOHOL OR PHENOL
-
Page/Page column 19-20, (2008/06/13)
Process for preparing an alkoxylated alcohol comprising reacting a starting monohydroxy alcohol selected from secondary alcohols, tertiary alcohols and mixtures thereof with an alkylene oxide in the presence of hydrogen fluoride and a boron-containing compound comprising at least one B-O bond. The alcohol may also be a primary monohydroxy alcohol when the boron containing compound is boric acid or boric acid anhydride or a mixture thereof, or may be a primary mono hydroxy alcohol, except a C14/C15 alcohol when reacted with ethylene oxide in the presence of HF and trimethyl borate. A phenol may be alkoxylated in the same way instead of the mono-hydroxyalcohol.
