CAS 5614-37-9: Cyclopentyl methyl ether

Cyclopentyl methyl ether is a hydrophobic ether solvent widely used in Grignard reaction, Friedel-Crafts reaction, Claisen condensation and Beckmann reaction. It plays an important role in extraction and polymerization reactions as well as in surface coatings. It is considered as a replacement for tetrahydrofuran, methyl tert-butyl ether, dioxane and other existing ether solvents due to its excellent properties like high boiling point and relative stability under acidic and basic conditions.

Cyclopentyl methyl ether is an experimental solvent that has been found to be soluble in water and trifluoroacetic acid. It is chemically stable and thermodynamically stable. Cyclopentyl methyl ether is toxic, with a LD50 of greater than 5 g/kg when administered orally to rats. The solvents may cause irritation and damage to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract. The solvent may react with acids or bases to form salts. These salts are usually insoluble in water, which limits their toxicity. Cyclopentyl methyl ether is not toxic to enzymes or cells; however, it can inhibit enzymatic reactions by competing with other reagents for enzyme binding sites.

Cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic ethers and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives

Cyclopentyl methyl ether is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of ethers. It has been shown to be a human skin carcinogen in animal studies. Cyclopentyl methyl ether is stable against transfer reactions, such as oxidation and reduction, with metal ions and enzymes. In addition, it does not react with BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) or human serum at physiological pH. This chemical compound can be used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical products, such as esters and amides.
