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".  Click here  for more information.

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 removal



Extraction of compounds
Polymer synthesis
Crystallization
Surface 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
