We have synthesized 1-(2-fluoroethoxy)-2-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)ethane (FETFEE). The relative permittivity and viscosity of FETFEE were higher than those of 1,2-diethoxyethane (DEE, ethylene glycol diethyl −3 ether). The conductivity of 1 mol dm LiPF6 solution in FETFEE was higher than that in 1-ethoxy-2-(2,2,2- trifluoroethoxy)ethane (ETFEE). The use of FETFEE as a co-solvent improved the discharge capacity of a Li | LiCoO2 coin cell. © The Electrochemical Society of Japan, All rights reserved.

They show high boiling points as in the presence of sodium hydroxide in a yield of about 23%. compared to diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran. DME is used as a 2-fluoroethyl p-toluenesulfonate was prepared by reaction of 2- reagent in organometallic chemistry such as Grignard reactions and fluoroethanol with p-toluensulfonyl chloride in pyridine in a yield of as a solvent in some electrolyte solutions for lithium batteries.1 about 70%. FETFEE was purified under reduced pressure first by DME, EME, and DEE show high relative permittivities and low simple distillation and then by fractional distillation. The purity of viscosities as compared to dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethyl methyl FETFEE was determined to be more than 99.9% by the use of gas carbonate (EMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC) in spite of the similar chromatograph equipped with a FID detector (Shimadzu Corp., molecular mass and the near boiling points.

DME forms chelate complexes with cations and acts as a bidentate The apparatus and techniques for measurements are essentially ligand. The chelating nature and low viscosity of DME contribute the same as those previously reported.3,5–7 We measured relative to the high conductivity of the blended electrolyte solutions.

These values are based solely on laboratory tests with raw materials. Plastic components produced from these raw materials are frequently subject to influences that cannot be recognized in laboratory tests (temperature, pressure, material stress, effects of chemicals, construction features, etc.). For this reason the values given are only to be regarded as being guidelines. In critical cases it is essential that a test is carried out first. No legal claims can be derived from this information; nor do we accept any liability for it. A knowledge of the chemical and mechanical resistance alone is not sufficient for the evaluation of the usability of a product. For example, the regulations concerning flammable liquids (explosion prevention) must also be taken into consideration.

In this review, the advancements made within this field are critically discussed with special attention to the potential of these two classes of compounds as green chemical products.

  • Regioisomers of Butanol, Ps45
    Thermo Fisher Scientific Molecular Spectroscopy 525 Verona Rd, Madison, WI 53711 (608 276-6100 www.thermoscientific.com picoSpin™ 45: Regioisomers of Butanol Dean Antic, Ph.D., Thermo Fisher Scientific, Boulder, CO, USA 1. Introduction Isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula but which the connectivity of the atoms differ. There are different types of isomers: constitutional isomers, positional isomers, conformational isomers, configurational isomers (geometric and optical) and functional group isomers. In this lab we consider positional isomers (regioisomers); isomers that have the same molecular formula but differ in the substitution position of a functional group, and constitutional isomers; molecules having the same molecular formula but different carbon connectivity. An easy example to consider is isomers of C3H8O. This molecular formula has three possible stable isomers, two alcohols and an ether. Placing an alcohol group on the terminal, or 1, position of propane (C3H8) yields the primary alcohol 1-propanol (propan-1-ol). Another isomer is 2-propanol (propan-2-ol); it is formed by placing the alcohol in the 2 position on the carbon backbone, making it a secondary alcohol. If we look at all of the isomers of the molecular formula C3H8O, then we also need to write down the structural formula for ethyl methyl ether (methoxyethane). Ethyl methyl ether is a constitutional isomer, while the propanol isomers are positional isomers. Let us now consider the isomers of C4H10O. There are eight possible isomers, five of them are isomers of butanol (C4H9OH; 2-butanol has an R and S stereoisomer due to the chiral center at C2 and are consider together as a single isomer), the remaining three are isomers of the ether form (C4H10O).
