2-(ethoxyethoxy)ethanol - Preparation Method
Open Data Verified Data
- in the ethylene oxide method, anhydrous ethanol and boron trifluoride-diethyl ether solution were added to the reactor, and then ethylene oxide was added. When the reaction temperature rose to 45 °c, the reaction temperature was controlled to below 70 °c. After completion of the reaction, the reaction mixture was neutralized and distilled under reduced pressure to collect a fraction of 90 ° C. (0.1 MPa) or less to obtain a finished product.
- The diethylene glycol method is obtained by reacting diethylene glycol and diethyl sulfate.

This product is a high boiling point solvent. Solvents for cellulose, resins, gums, coatings, printing inks, dyes, mutual solvents for mineral oil-soap and mineral oil-sulfurized oil mixtures, non-paint colorants, fiber printing agents, thinners for varnishes and paints. Used as a solvent, also used for varnish and plastic preparation solvent. Organic synthesis. |
| Production method | 1. Ethylene oxide method First add anhydrous ethanol, boron trifluoride-ether solution to the reactor, and then add ethylene oxide. When the reaction temperature rises to 45 ℃, it is cooled and the reaction temperature is controlled below 70 ℃. After the reaction is completed, the finished product is obtained by neutralization and decompression distillation, and the fraction below 90 ℃(0.1MPa) is collected. 2. Diethylene glycol method is prepared by the reaction of diethylene glycol and diethyl sulfate. It is formed by the condensation of diethylene glycol and 1 molecule of ethanol. |
