Description
Cyclopentyl methyl ether is a SOLVAGREEN® ether solvent of minimum 99 % purity in extra pure grade, stabilised with BHT, with CAS number 5614-37-9 and empirical formula C₆H₁₂O. Physical characteristics include a molar mass of 100,16 g/mol, density of 0,86 g/cm³, boiling point of 107 °C, and flash point of 3 °C, which are important for reaction setup and safe handling. Offered by manufacturer Carl ROTH, it is identified by EG number 445-090-6 and UN number 3271. Cyclopentyl methyl ether is applied as a process and synthesis solvent where an alternative ethereal medium with defined boiling behaviour is desired, including extractions, organometallic work-up steps, and general organic transformations. Stabilisation with BHT supports storage stability of the peroxide-prone ether class. The extra pure, min. 99 % specification and SOLVAGREEN® designation position it for synthesis laboratories seeking a characterised cyclopentyl methyl ether grade. is convenient for method development and smaller-scale preparative work.
This article belongs on Green & alternative solvents, in Solvents.

Questions about Cyclopentyl methyl ether, SOLVAGREEN® min. 99 %, extra pure, 250 ml, glass
What is this article?
Cyclopentyl methyl ether, SOLVAGREEN® min. 99 %, extra pure, 250 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Green & alternative solvents, inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
A green or alternative solvent is chosen to replace a more hazardous one, often with a higher boiling point or a different polarity. It is not automatically equivalent in a method. The replacement has to dissolve the same compounds and leave the same impurities behind, which is a test, not a label.
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 Green & alternative solvents. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), HPLC & LC-MS grade solvents, Dry & deuterated solvents (NMR, synthesis) and Technical & synthesis grade solvents.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
