Methyl propyl ether, also known as methyl propyl ether or simply methyl propyl ether, is an organic compound classified as an ether. It has the chemical formula C4H10O and features a structure characterized by an ether functional group (-O-) connecting a methyl group (–CH3) and a propyl group (–C3H7). This compound is typically a colorless, flammable liquid with a pleasant, ether-like odor. Methyl propyl ether is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits low solubility in water. It is primarily used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including paint thinners and cleaning agents, due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds. Additionally, it may serve as a fuel additive to enhance combustion properties. Safety considerations are important when handling this substance, as it can pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact, and proper ventilation and protective equipment are recommended during its use.
