Glymes
Glymes,
also known as glycol diethers, are some the most powerful solvents
available today for an incredibly wide variety of industrial processes
and products. Glymes are saturated polyethers with no functional
groups, hence they are aprotic compounds that are relatively inert
chemically. These features account for their excellent solvent
properties.
In general,
glymes are most frequently used in reactions involving metals,
inorganic salts and organometallics. Common examples are grignard
reactions, reactions of alkali metals, anionic polymerization, metal
hydride reactions and hydrobrominations.
