Description

2-Ethyloxolane (CAS NO 123931-62-4) is a versatile cyclic ether solvent with unique properties derived from its oxolane (tetrahydrofuran) structure substituted with an ethyl group. This compound matters for industrial processes requiring a polar aprotic solvent with good solvating power and a manageable boiling point. It is needed by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty chemical sectors for applications such as reaction media, extraction, and polymer processing.

Application

• As a polar aprotic solvent for Grignard reactions, polymerizations, and metal-hydride reductions.
• Reaction medium in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and fine chemicals.
• Component in specialty coating formulations and adhesives.
• Extraction solvent in natural product isolation and purification processes.
• Used in agrochemical formulation as a carrier for active ingredients.
• Potential precursor or intermediate in organic synthesis for further chemical modifications.
• Laboratory reagent for research and development in academic and industrial settings.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ethyloxolane is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for industrial and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and moisture ingress.
