Application

CPME is a greener alternative solvent and may be used is a broad range of applications such as: Organic synthesis reactions containing the following reagents and conditions:

1. Alkali agents
2. Lewis's acid-mediated reactions
3. Organometallic
4. Reduction and Oxidation
5. Transition metal catalysts
6. Azeotropic water removalExtraction of compounds Polymer synthesisCrystallizationSurface coatings

   Features and Benefits

   Synthetic-based sustainable and safer alternative Reduces the number of steps required for production Reduces the amount of water that is required for washing Eliminates the need for co-solvents for product recovery It has many properties which make it a safer and greener alternative: Low peroxide formation High boiling point Clean organic-water phase separation Reduced energy to recover

   General description

   We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Greener Chemistry. Cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) is a greener alternative solvent to many aprotic ether solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran (2-MeTHF), dioxane (carcinogenic), tert-Butyl methyl ether (MTBE), and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) and thus has been enhanced for "Safer Solvents and Auxiliaries".
