About Methyl tert-butyl ether, for HPLC, 99.7%

Methyl tert-butyl ether is an HPLC grade solvent in HPLC grade carrying the CAS registry number 1634-04-4 at a purity of 99.7%. Formula C5H12O, molecular weight 88.15 g/mol. The IUPAC name is 2-methoxy-2-methylpropane. Common synonyms include tert-Butyl methyl ether and Methyl t-butyl ether.

The material typically appears as a colourless liquid. Key physical data: a boiling point of 55-56 °C and a density of 0.74 g/mL at 25 °C. Keep containers tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat and ignition sources. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include HPLC mobile phase, LC-MS sample preparation and trace analysis. Buyers come mainly from academic and industrial research and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

We offer Methyl tert-butyl ether in 500 mL, 1 L and 150 kg packs with a batch-specific COA, and ship to customers worldwide.
