Description
Diethyl ether is an organic solvent for synthesis with a minimum purity of 99,5 %, empirical formula C₄H₁₀O and CAS number 60-29-7. The molar mass is 74,12 g/mol, density 0,71 g/cm³, boiling point 34,58 to 34,59 °C and flash point −40 °C. It is stabilised with BHT and Diethyl ether from manufacturer Carl ROTH (EG nr. 200-467-2) is used where a low-boiling, low-density ether medium is required for extractions, reaction media and related preparative steps in chemical and life-science laboratories. The defined assay and physical data support reproducible handling under appropriate safety controls for highly flammable liquids. This grade is intended for synthesis applications rather than specialised analytical claims beyond the stated minimum content. The glass bottle format suits bench-scale dispensing and storage within standard solvent workflows. Clear identity via CAS 60-29-7 and formula C₄H₁₀O aids inventory and method documentation.
This article is part of Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), in Solvents.

Questions about Diethyl ether, min. 99,5 %, for synthesis, , 1 l, glass
What is this article?
Diethyl ether, min. 99,5 %, for synthesis, , 1 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Solvents. The sub-category is Analytical grade solvents (p.a.). The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
