SOLVENTS CONTAINING CYCLOALKYL ALKYL ETHERS AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF THE ETHERS
摘要
A solvent containing at least one cycloalkyl alkyl ether (1) represented by the general formula: R<sp>1</sp>−O−R<sp>2</sp> (wherein R<sp>1</sp> is cyclopentyl or the like; and R<sp>2</sp> is C<sb>1−10</sb> alkyl or the like); and a process for the production of the ethers (1), characterized by reacting an alicyclic olefin with an alcohol in the presence of an acid ion−exchange resin having a water content of 5 wt% or below. The solvent is useful as cleaning solvent for electronic components, precision machinery components or the like, reaction solvent for various chemical reactions, extraction solvent for extracting objective organic substances, solvent or remover for electronic and electrical materials, and so on. The process enables industrially advantageous production of the objective cycloalkyl alkyl ethers (1).
