Use | Tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether can be used as an excellent solvent for alkali gold hydride. It is used in various chemical reaction processes such as alkylation condensation and reduction. Since the compound has Lewis basicity, it can selectively absorb acid gas for purification of synthesis gas, natural gas, acetylene and other gases. |

use | a protic inert solvent tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether can be used as an excellent solvent for alkali gold hydride. Used in a variety of chemical reaction processes such as alkylation condensation and reduction. Because the compound is Lewis alkaline, it can choose to absorb acid gas for purification of synthesis gas, natural gas, acetylene and other gases. |
production method | 1. the synthesis method of diethanol monomethyl ether and thionyl chloride is mainly adopted. Chlorination of diethanol monomethyl ether with thionyl chloride, and then diethanol monomethyl ether is made into sodium alkoxide, and then the two are condensed, and finally filtered and vacuum distilled. |
spontaneous combustion temperature | 510 °F |
