Usage

General Description

Ethylene glycol monoisobutyl ether, also known as 2-(2-butoxyethoxy)ethanol, is a clear, colorless liquid with a mild, sweet odor. It is a glycol ether used as a solvent in various industrial and commercial applications, including in the manufacturing of paints, varnishes, and coatings. It is also used in industries such as cleaning and degreasing, as well as in the production of adhesives and inks. Ethylene glycol monoisobutyl ether has low volatility, making it a useful solvent for applications that require slow evaporation rates. However, it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and should be handled with caution.

PRODUCTION OF HYDROXY ETHER HYDROCARBONS BY LIQUID PHASE HYDROGENOLYSIS OF CYCLIC ACETALS OR CYCLIC KETALS

A liquid phase hydrogenolysis of acetal compounds such as cyclic acetals and cyclic ketals are fed to a reaction zone and reacted in the presence of a noble metal catalyst supported on a carbon or silica support to make hydroxy ether mono-hydrocarbons in high selectivity, without the necessity to use acidic co-catalysts such as phosphorus containing acids or stabilizers such as hydroquinone.

Deamination Reactions, 41. Reactions of Aliphatic Diazonium Ions and Carbocations with Ethers

Aliphatic diazonium ions and carbocations were generated by deacylation of appropriate nitrosoureas (1, 5, 9) in alcohol-ether mixtures or in 2-alkoxyethanols.Ethers were generally inferior to alcohols in capturing cationic intermediates.Formation of trialkyloxonium ions led to alkyl exchange or ring opening.The observed reactivity orders were n-butyl > isobutyl for the diazonium ions, allyl > sec-butyl > tert-butyl for the carbocations, methoxy > ethoxy and oxirane > oxetane > tetrahydrofuran for the ethers, indicating the predominance of steric effects.Neighboring group participation in 4-methoxy-1-butanediazonium ions (58) and 4,5-epoxy-1-pentanediazonium ions (74) was detectable but inefficient ( 20percent of cyclic oxonium ions).
