Grown Ethers. Ethylene oxide forms cycHc oligomers (crown ethers) in the presence of fluorinated Lewis acids such as boron tritiuoride, phosphoms pentafluoride, or antimony pentafluoride. Hydrogen fluoride is the preferred catalyst (47). The presence of BF , PF , or SbF salts of alkah, alkaline earth, or transition metals directs the oligomerization to the cycHc tetramer, 1,4,7,10-tetraoxacyclododecane [294-93-9] (12-crown-4), pentamer, 1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxacyclopentadecane [33100-27-6] (15-crown-6), andhexamer, 1,4,7,10,13,16-hexaoxacyclooctadecane [17455-13-9]...

Other attempts to avoid the experimental difficulties of measuring the thermal properties of gas hydrates have been to choose the easier route of thermal property measurements of cyclic ethers-ethylene oxide (EO) for structure I, or tetrahydro-furan (THF) for structure II. Since both compounds are totally miscible with water, liquid solutions can be made at the theoretical hydrate compositions (EO 7.67H20 or THF 17H20). 

Ethylene oxide (freezing point -111.7°C, boiling point 10.4°C, flash point <18°C) is a colorless gas that condenses at low temperature into a mobile liquid. Ethylene oxide is miscible in all proportions with water or alcohol and is very soluble in ether. Ethylene oxide is slowly decomposed by water at standard conditions, converting into ethylene glycol (HOCH2CH2OH).

Carcinogens can be divided into two general types those that act directly and those that act indirectly. Direct-acting carcinogens are those that interact with cellular constituents such as protein, lipids, and nucleic acids. There are relatively few direct-acting carcinogens (e.g., bis(chloromethyl)ether, ethylene oxide, and nitrogen mustard). 

The scope of applications of cationic oxetane polymerization is rather limited, with one exception [3,3-bis(chloromethyl)oxetane, BCMO] polyoxetanes have not found any practical application. BCMO, is not as easily available as some of the 3-or 5-membered cyclic ethers (ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, epichlorohydrin, tetrahydrofuran) which are made from simple petrochemical products.
