Cyclopentyl Methyl Ether as a New and Alternative Process Solvent

Abstract: Cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) has become available in commercial quantities since November 2005 from Zeon Corporation with approval by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) and the European List of Notified Chemical Substances (ELINCS). A high boiling point (106°C) and preferable characteristics such as low formation of peroxides, relative stability under acidic and basic conditions, formation of azeotropes with water coupled with a narrow explosion range render CPME an alternative to other ethereal solven… Show more

“…The major breakthrough came when the green solvent cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME), one that uniquely combines such properties, was selected as reaction medium. CPME recently emerged as a low-toxicity, sustainable solvent alternative for tetrahydrofuran 28 .…”

“…However, using alkoxide solutions at high concentration may cause problems upstream as well, and the separation is less flexible in terms of flow ratio (Table 2). An obvious solution to avoid the "loss" of solvent in the aqueous stream while decreasing the water concentration in the organic stream would be using a different solvent with lower miscibility with watersuch as methyl-THF or CPME 42 bringing about a concomitant easier phase separation as well by an increase of the surface tension.…”

“…1) is an ethereal solvent which has newly been developed as a green solvent [1]. Compared with typical ethereal solvents such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran, CPME has preferable characteristics such as a relatively high boiling point, low formation of peroxides, relative stability under acidic and basic conditions, and a narrow explosion range.…”
