Description

Cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), also known as methoxycyclopentane, is new environmentally friendly hydrophobic ether solvent with high performance, and could replace tetrahydrofuran, methyl tetrahydrofuran, methyl tert-butyl ether and dioxane and other ether solvents. As a reaction solvent, it can be used for reaction such as Grignard reaction, coupling reaction, coupling amination reaction, metal reduction reaction, Lewis acid reaction and Fried-Clark reaction, etc. It is also used for extrac

Cyclopentyl methyl ether Use and Manufacturing

Uses

Cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) is an alternative to ether solvents such as THF, diethyl ether, and MTBE with a higher resistance to peroxide formation. The more environmentally conservative CPME solvent replaces hazardous solvents in order to achieve sustainability and reduce environmental and operational costs. CPME offers considerable potential and advantage as a direct replacement for CH2Cl2 in binary eluents using MeOH as the modifier with MeOH-DMC and i-PrOH-EtOAc.
