Chemical Properties
n-Hexyl ether is a colorless, stable liquid with a mild odor. It is less volatile than the lower members of the aliphatic ether group and its solubility in water is very slight. It is miscible with most organic solvents and can replace butyl ether for many similar applications. It is used as a solvent medium in chemical reactions and is a foam breaker for certain processes.
Uses
Dihexyl ether has been used as:
- supported liquid membrane during hollow-fiber liquid-phase microextraction method for determination of nitrophenolic compounds from atmospheric aerosol particles
- an extraction solvent to detect avermectins in stream water by hollow-fiber-assisted liquid-phase microextraction technique coupled with LC-MS/MS
Uses
Extraction processes, manufacture of collodion,
photographic film, and smokeless powder.
