Ethyl ether can be used as:

• A solvent in organic reactions such as Grignard and Wurtz reactions.
• A solvent along with lithium perchlorate (LPDE) in the reductive monoalkylation of amines and its derivative with aldehyde.
• A solvent for the extraction and purification of (L+) lactic acid from fermented broth and synthesize PLA (polylactic acid).

EMPARTA solvents are designed for routine chemical synthesis, drying, purification, and critical labware cleaning in quality control environments. Engineered for precision, they deliver consistently reproducible results essential for rigorous validation and documentation.

Exceptional Quality Standards: These solvents meet or exceed ACS specifications, providing assurance of high quality that is crucial for accurate testing and analysis in quality control.

Consistent Reproducibility: Designed for precision, the solvents ensure that results can be reliably reproduced, which is vital for maintaining compliance and integrity in quality control processes.

Versatile Applications: Suitable for a variety of QC tasks, including analytical testing, method validation, and testing USP/NF monographs, these solvents support a comprehensive approach to quality assurance in laboratory settings.

Ethyl ether (CH₃CH₂)₂O is also referred to as sulfuric ether, diethyl ether, or just ether is used as a laboratory solvent. Ether is a desirable solvent for oils, fats, waxes, perfumes, dyes, resins, hydrocarbons, and gums. It is also used as fuel and to synthesize other chemical compounds.
