As a solvent, in Mannich reaction, as an electrolyte in batteries.1,3-Dioxolane is used as a solvent for paints, cellulose esters and in organic synthesis. It is used as an extragent for waxes, fats and oils, stabilizer for halogenated hydrocarbons and co monomer in polyacetals preparation.
Tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether is used in lithium-ion battery technology. It is associated with trifluoroethanol and used as a working pair for organic absorption heat pumps. It acts as a solvent for cleaning and degreasing due to its chemical and thermal stability.
1,2-Dimethoxyethane is widely used as a solvent for electrolyte of lithium batteries, polysilicones, oligo- and polysaccharides. It plays an important role in Grignard reactions, Suzuki reactions and Stille couplings in organometallic chemistry and in pharmaceutical synthesis.
