Product Coverage

Ethers are organic compounds characterized by an oxygen atom connected to two alkyl or aryl groups. This record covers acyclic, cyclanic, cyclenic, cycloterpenic, and aromatic ethers; ether-alcohols; ether-phenols; ether-alcohol-phenols; and their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives. It also includes 2,2-oxydiethanol (diethylene glycol, digol) and alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, and ketone peroxides, whether or not chemically defined.

Included

• Acyclic ethers (e.g., diethyl ether, dimethyl ether)
• Cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic ethers
• Aromatic ethers (e.g., diphenyl ether, anisole)
• Ether-alcohols (e.g., 2-ethoxyethanol, 2-butoxyethanol)
• Ether-phenols and ether-alcohol-phenols
• 2,2-Oxydiethanol (diethylene glycol, digol)
• Alcohol peroxides, ether peroxides, and ketone peroxides
• Halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives of the above

Excluded

• Acetals and hemiacetals
• Epoxides (oxiranes) and their derivatives
• Polyethers (e.g., polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol)
• Ether-containing polymers and resins
• Pharmaceutical or agrochemical formulations containing ethers as active ingredients
• Ether-based solvents blended with other chemical classes
