Diethylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether 111-96-6

Product Description Of Diethylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether 111-96-6

Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether, also known as diethylene glycol dimethyl ether or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, is a colorless, transparent liquid. It is miscible with water, alcohols, ethers, and hydrocarbon solvents.

Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is a non-protonic, highly polar solvent widely used as a solvent in the synthesis of organometallic compounds, alkylation reactions, and condensation reactions; it is also used as a raw material in pharmaceuticals and organic synthesis. It can be produced by reacting diethylene glycol with methanol.

Application of Diethylene Glycol Dimethyl Ether 111-96-6

Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is widely used as a solvent in industries such as coatings, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides.


It is primarily used as a solvent.

In the synthesis of metal organic compounds, alkylation reactions, condensation reactions, and reduction reactions, it serves as a solvent for alkali metal hydroxides.

It is used as a solvent and also as a non-polluting cleaning agent, extractant, diluent, etc.

Used as a solvent and also in the pharmaceutical industry.

Used in food additives, pharmaceuticals, and mineral extraction.

Diethylene glycol dimethyl ether is a non-protonic polar solvent that can be used as a solvent in polar organic reactions, anionic polymerization, and coordination ion polymerization reactions.

It can also serve as a solvent for reduction alkylation, condensation, and similar reactions, as well as a medium for Grignard and similar syntheses.

Additionally, it is used as a non-polluting cleaning agent, extractant, diluent, pharmaceutical excipient, and resin solvent.
