Diisopropyl ether is secondary ether that is used as a solvent. It is a colorless liquid that is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents. It is used as an extractant and an oxygenate gasoline additive. It is obtained industrially as a byproduct in the production of isopropanol by hydration of propylene.[3] Diisopropyl ether is sometimes represented by the abbreviation DIPE.
Uses[edit]Whereas at 20 °C, diethyl ether will dissolve 1% by weight water, diisopropyl ether only dissolves 0.88%. Diisopropyl ether is used as a specialized solvent to remove or extract polar organic compounds from aqueous solutions, e.g. phenols, ethanol, acetic acid. It has also been used as an antiknock agent.
In the laboratory, diisopropyl ether is useful for recrystallizations because it has a wide liquid range.[4][5] Diisopropyl ether is used for converting bromoboranes, which are thermally labile, into isopropoxy derivatives.[6]
