Petroleum ether 60 - 80 (CAS 64742-49-0)
QUICK LINKS
Petroleum ether 60 - 80 is a hydrocarbon solvent that functions as a non-polar extraction agent in laboratory applications. It is used to separate compounds based on their solubility in non-polar solvents. This solvent interacts with organic compounds by dissolving non-polar substances such as fats, oils, and waxes, allowing for the isolation of specific compounds from complex mixtures. Petroleum ether 60 - 80′s mechanism of action involves its ability to selectively dissolve non-polar compounds, leaving behind polar substances. This solvent is particularly useful in the initial stages of purification processes, where non-polar compounds need to be separated from polar impurities. Its low boiling point and volatility make it suitable for extraction processes that require the removal of the solvent after extraction, leaving behind the desired compounds.
