Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, 99%, stab. with 100ppm BHT

Product Code. 11465403

Brand: Thermo Scientific Alfa Aesar A13397.AP

Description

CAS: 111-96-6 | C6H14O3 | 134.18 g/mol

Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is used as a solvent in organic reactions due to its stability towards higher pH and its high boiling point. It is particularly involved in reactions utilizing organometallic reagents such as Grignard reactions and metal hydride reductions. It is also a solvent for hydroboration reactions with diborane.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
