Colorless transparent liquid
Stabilizer, intermediate.
Colorless liquid. Floats on water.
Ethers, such as 2-ETHOXY-3,4-DIHYDRO-2H-PYRAN can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.
Contact with liquid irritates eyes. Also irritates skin on prolonged contact.
Moderately toxic by
skin contact. Mildly toxic by ingestion and
inhalation. A skin and eye irritant.
Flammable liquid when exposed to flame,
sparks, and oxidizers. To fight fire, use dry
chemical, foam, fog. When heated to
decomposition it emits acrid smoke and
irritating fumes
