Behavior in Fire: Containers may explode in fires. | [Description]
1,2-Dimethoxyethane (DME) is a liquid ether used as aprotic solvent. It is also known as glyme, monoglyme, dimethyl glycol, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dimethyl cellosolve and DME. It has the special ability to form chelates thanks to the high flexibility of its chains. Moreover, DME is the molecular model system for the poly(oxyethylene) chain. It is commonly used as a solvent in batteries and in organometallic reaction chemistry since it is higher boiling than diethyl ether and THF[1]. | [Chemical Properties]
Colorless liquid | [Uses]
Monoglyme is used in the electrolyte solutions for lithium batteries. | [Uses]
Solvent commonly employed in organometallic reactions,1 particularly organolithium reactions.2 May also function as a ligand.3 | [Application]
Monoglyme serves as an electrolyte solution component for lithium batteries. It is also frequently utilized as a solvent in organometallic reactions, particularly those involving organolithium compounds. Additionally, it can act as a ligand in certain chemical reactions. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A diether that is the 1,2-dimethyl ether of ethane-1,2-diol. | [Flammability and Explosibility]
Highlyflammable | [Synthesis]
1,2-Dimethoxyethane is derived from the reaction of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether with sodium metal and methyl chloride. The ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and the metal sodium were refluxed together until the metal sodium was completely reacted, the temperature was lowered to 45° C., and methyl chloride was introduced. After the reaction is completed, fractional distillation is performed to collect fractions at 84-85.5°C to obtain 1,2-Dimethoxyethane. | [Purification Methods]
Traces of water and acidic materials have been removed from it by refluxing with Na, K or CaH2, decanting and distilling from Na, K, CaH2 or LiAlH4. The reaction has been speeded up by using vigorous high-speed stirring with molten potassium. For virtually complete elimination of water, 1,2-dimethoxyethane has been dried with Na-K alloy until a characteristic blue colour is formed in the solvent at Dry-ice/cellosolve temperatures: the solvent is kept with the alloy until distilled for use [Ward J Am Chem Soc 83 1296 1961]. Alternatively, glyme, refluxed with benzophenone and Na-K, is dry enough if, on distillation, it gives a blue colour of the ketyl immediately on addition to benzophenone and sodium [Ayscough & Wilson J Chem Soc 5412 1963]. It has also been purified by distillation under N2 from sodium benzophenone ketyl (see above). [Beilstein 1 IV 2376.] | [Toxics Screening Level]
The initial threshold screening level (ITSL) for ethylene glycol dimethyl ether will remain at
24 μg/m3 based on a 24-hour averaging time. | [References]
