Product description

Diethylene glycol monovinyl ether, also known as di(ethylene glycol) vinyl ether, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H12O3. Here's a brief description:
  1. Chemical Structure: Diethylene glycol monovinyl ether consists of two ethylene glycol units with a vinyl group (-CH=CH2) attached to one of the hydroxyl groups (-OH).
  2. Physical Properties:
    • Appearance: Diethylene glycol monovinyl ether is a colorless liquid with a faint, characteristic odor.
    • Boiling Point: The boiling point of diethylene glycol monovinyl ether is approximately 160-165°C.
    • Density: It has a density of about 1.08 g/cm³.
    • Solubility: It is miscible with water and many organic solvents.
  3. Synthesis: Diethylene glycol monovinyl ether can be synthesized by the reaction of ethylene oxide with vinyl alcohol, followed by purification.
  4. Applications:
    • Chemical Intermediate: Diethylene glycol monovinyl ether is primarily used as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis. It can undergo various reactions, including polymerization, etherification, and addition reactions, to produce a wide range of compounds.
    • Monomer: It can be polymerized to form poly(diethylene glycol monovinyl ether), which finds applications in coatings, adhesives, and specialty materials.
    • Solvent: Diethylene glycol monovinyl ether is used as a solvent in organic synthesis and as a starting material for the synthesis of other organic compounds.
    • Reagent: It is used as a reagent in certain chemical reactions, such as the synthesis of polymers and surface coatings.
  5. Health and Safety Considerations:
    • Diethylene glycol monovinyl ether may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract upon contact or inhalation.
    • Prolonged or repeated exposure to high concentrations may cause adverse health effects.
    • Adequate ventilation and proper personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and goggles, should be used when handling diethylene glycol monovinyl ether.
  6. Environmental Impact:
    • Diethylene glycol monovinyl ether may have environmental implications if released into the environment. It can contribute to air pollution and may be harmful to aquatic organisms.
    • Proper handling, storage, and disposal practices should be followed to minimize environmental contamination.
