SECTION 10: Stability and reactivity

Reactivity

The substance can presumably form explosive peroxides upon exposure to air or light. Reacts violently with strong oxidants, amines and acids.

Chemical stability

Possibility of hazardous reactions

Ethers can act as bases. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.

Other Information

Explosive limits are unknown in literature, although the substance is combustible and has a flash point < 61°C.The symptoms of lung oedema often do not become manifest until a few hours have passed and they are aggravated by physical effort.Rest and medical observation is therefore essential.Immediate administration of an appropriate inhalation therapy by a doctor or a person authorized by him/her, should be considered.Check for peroxides prior to distillation; eliminate if found.
