Definition

ChEBI: Diisoamyl ether is an ether.

Flammability and Explosibility

Flammable

Purification Methods

Isopentyl ether is a mixture of 2-and 3-methylbutyl ether. It is purified by refluxing with sodium for 5hours, then it is distilled under reduced pressure, to remove alcohols. Isoamyl ether can also be dried with CaCl2 and fractionally distilled from P2O5. [Beilstein 1 IV 1682.]
