sec-Butyl methyl ether is used as a solvent in organic synthesis.

sec-Butyl methyl ether (2-methoxy butane) is an acyclic methyl ether. It is reported to be formed in trace amounts during the thermal decomposition of meso- and dl-2,3-dimethylsuccinyl peroxides. sec-Butyl methyl ether is prepared by the reaction of sodium sec-butylate and methyl iodide. Its boiling point has been predicted using back-propagation neural network (BP NN).

A chemical structure of a molecule includes the arrangement of atoms and the chemical bonds that hold the atoms together. The SEC-BUTYL METHYL ETHER molecule contains a total of 17 bond(s). There are 5 non-H bond(s), 2 rotatable bond(s), and 1 ether(s) (aliphatic).
