Other Details

We provide Diglyme Solvent or bis (2-Methoxyethyl) ether, that is a solvent with high boiling point. The name "Diglyme" is a Portmanteau of Diglycol Methyl Ether. It is an organic compound that is the Dimethyl Ether of Diethylene Glycol. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a slight ether-like odor. It is miscible with Water, Alcohols, Diethyl Ether and Hydrocarbon Solvents. It is mainly used as a solvent in organic reactions. It has the ability to Chelate small cations, leaving anions more active. Therefore, reactions involving Organo-metallic Reagents, such as Grignard reactions or metal hydride reductions, may have significantly enhanced reaction rates.

A Lithium cation being chelated by a Diglyme Molecule Diglyme is also used as a solvent in Hydroboration reactions with Diborane. Its stability, even at high pH values, makes it an excellent solvent for reactions with strong bases or reactions that require high temperatures.
