Application | diethylene glycol monohexyl ether is an ether derivative, which can be used as a solvent for real paint, paint, resin, dye, oil and lubricating oil, they are also used as coupling and dispersing agents. |
preparation | first, sodium alkoxide is prepared by reacting diethylene glycol monohexyl ether with sodium hydroxide, and the prepared sodium alkoxide uses tetrabutylammonium bromide as phase transfer catalyst, further, a synthesis reaction is carried out under the action of methyl chloride to generate diethylene glycol methyl hexyl ether. The specific operation is as follows. To a four-necked flask equipped with a thermometer, reflux condenser and stirrer was added 70g of diethylene glycol monohexyl ether (C10H22O3), followed by the addition of a certain molar ratio of alkali and a certain proportion of catalyst tetrabutylammonium bromide (C16H36BrN) with stirring. Open the valve of the Y-type connecting pipe and the storage tank, pass the methyl chloride and raise the temperature to the reaction temperature, and carry out the ether condensation reaction for 3.5h. In the course of the experiment, record the temperature of the ventilation, the size of the valve opening, and record the experimental phenomena of each time period. After completion of the reaction, 40ml of water was added to wash with water. While stirring, the temperature was cooled by an external water bath, the upper clear liquid was taken from the sample bottle with a glue head dropper, and the conversion rate of diethylene glycol monohexyl ether was calculated by area normalization according to Gas Chromatography by gas chromatography with Shimadzu CC-14B gas chromatograph. |
