1,1′-[Ethylidenebis(oxy)]bis[propane]

Description:

1,1′-[Ethylidenebis(oxy)]bis[propane], commonly known as diethyl ether, is an organic compound characterized by its ether functional group, which consists of two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to an oxygen atom. This compound is typically a colorless, volatile liquid with a distinctive sweet odor. It has a relatively low boiling point, making it highly flammable and capable of forming explosive peroxides upon prolonged exposure to air and light. Diethyl ether is soluble in water and serves as an excellent solvent for a variety of organic compounds, making it widely used in laboratories and industrial applications. Its low viscosity and high vapor pressure contribute to its effectiveness as an anesthetic in medical settings, although its use has declined in favor of safer alternatives. Additionally, diethyl ether is known for its ability to dissolve lipophilic substances, which is valuable in extraction processes. Proper handling and storage are essential due to its flammability and potential health hazards associated with inhalation or skin contact.
