METHOD OF PRODUCING GEL-STRUCTURED SYSTEM FOR STORAGE AND TRANSPORT OF DIETHYL ETHER Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC C08G77/14 C07C7/00 C07C409/06 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: SUBSTANCE:diethyl ether is mixed with peroxide of common formula ROOH (I), where R=H or R₁R₂C(OOR₃), where R₁=CH₂CH(CH₃)₂, R₂=CH₃ or R₁=R₂=n-butyl or R₁+R₂=(CH₂)₄, (CH₂)₅, (CH₂)₆, (CH₂)₇, (CH₂)₁₁, (CH₂)₂CH(CH₃)(CH₂)₂, (CH₂)₂CHC(CH₃)₃(CH₂)₂, 2-adamantilil R₃= H or R₄R₅C(OOH), where R₄+R₅=(CH₂)₅, (CH₂)₂CH(CH₃)(CH₂)₂, (CH₂)₆, (CH₂)₁₁, tetraethoxysilane and the acid catalyst, and the process is conducted at a molar ratio of peroxide: tetraethoxysilane: acid catalyst (4-8):1.0: (0.5-2.0) and the volume ratio of diethyl ether equal to 3.0-5.0 ml per 1.0 mmol of tetraethoxysilane. As the acid catalyst, trifluoride boron etherate or sulfuric acid is preferably used.

EFFECT: creating a new kind of convenient and safe storage and transportation of a volatile solvent of diethyl ether through producing a new gel-structured system of peroxides and tetraethoxysilane not described in the literature, while there is no stage of pre-treating the tank, because the gel system is prepared with the direct participation of the stored product - volatile diethyl ether, the amount of diethyl ether quantity at its release is not lost, as it does not enter into chemical interaction with the gel-structured system.
