General description

Ethylene oxide is generally synthesized by chlorohydrine process and direct oxidation of ethylene with air, catalyzed by silver(Ag).[1]

Ethylene oxide serves as a starting material to produce ethylene glycols, surfactants, emulsifiers, and polyurethane foams.[2]

Application

Ethylene oxide can be used as a precursor to synthesize:
  • Poly(ethylene oxides) and poly(ethyleneglycol)s.[3][4]
  • Ethylene carbonate via coupling reaction with CO2 catalyzed by imidazolium zinc tetrahalides.[5];
  • α,ω-heterodifunctionalized poly(ethylene oxide)s using organocatalyst N-heterocyclic carbenes via ring-opening polymerization.[6]

Packaging

Supplied in a carbon steel lecture bottle with a CGA180M/CGA110F needle valve installed.

Compatible with the following:
  • Aldrich® lecture-bottle station systems
  • Aldrich® lecture-bottle gas regulators
