What is Diisopropyl Ether?

Diisopropyl ether (DIPE), also known as isopropyl ether (IPE), is a colorless liquid. It is a solvent for animal, vegetable and mineral oils, fats, waxes and some natural resins. Diisopropyl ether has CAS number 108-20-3 and chemical formula C6H14O.

What is diisopropyl ether used for?

IPE is generally not considered a solvent for synthetic resins, although it will dissolve ethyl cellulose and, in the presence of low molecular weight alcohols, also cellulose nitrate. Like many other ethers, IPE has a tendency to form peroxides, which are formed when IPE is in contact with air for a long time. To prevent this, hydroquinone, bht or IONOL (a mixture of antioxidants) is added.

Diisopropyl ether is used as an extraction agent in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. It is used as a substitute for diethyl ether when a lower volatility solvent is desired.
