Product Overview

Petroleum Ether 80-100°C For Synthesis (CAS No. 8032-32-4) is a higher-boiling non-polar petroleum hydrocarbon fraction defined by its 80-100°C distillation range. Compared with lower-boiling petroleum ether cuts, the material offers reduced volatility during room-temperature handling while retaining hydrophobic solvent behaviour useful in organic synthesis and work-up.

The Synthesis grade is intended for reaction media, extraction, washing, crystallisation and preparative separation where a higher-boiling petroleum solvent is appropriate. The defined boiling-range designation assists in solvent selection based on evaporation rate, extraction conditions, and process temperature.

Typical Applications

• Organic synthesis work-up
• Non-polar reaction medium in compatible systems
• Extraction of hydrophobic reaction products
• Washing and purification procedures
• Crystallisation and antisolvent processing
• Solvent exchange
• Preparative phase-separation studies

Common Synonyms

• Petroleum ether
• Petroleum benzine
• Ligroin
• Benzine
• Petroleum hydrocarbon fraction

Storage Conditions

Keep tightly closed and protect from contamination and evaporative composition change. Prevent mixing with lower- or higher-boiling petroleum fractions during storage and transfer.
