Making Diisopropyl Ether

Welcome to Episode 12 of Molecular Playground! In this video, I make diisopropyl ether! This bulky ether is a better solvent than diethyl ether because of its extra methyl groups. It can dissolve other bulky alcohols, ketones, aromatic compounds, and alkaloids. Warning: May form explosives peroxides when standing in air or exposed to light. Handle with caution!
