The monoalkyl ethers of ethylene glycol are commercially known
as Cellosolve@, CarbitoP', and DowanoP. These substances have
many uses: as solvents in the paint and lacquer sector, components
for adjusting viscosity in brake fluids, emulsifiers for
mineral and vegetable oils, and for ball point pen and printing
inks. In 1993, the production capacity for ethylene glycol ethers
in the USA, Western Europe, and Japan was about 0.58, 0.57,
and 0.14 x lo6 tonnes per year, respectively. The production
figures for glycol ethers in these countries are summarized in
the adjacent table. The glycol ether production includes the
monomethyl, monoethyl, and monobutyl ethers of monoethylene
glycol.
Other industrially important inert aprotic solvents are obtained
by etherification or esterification of the remaining OH group in
