Metabolite Identification
Common NameDiisopropyl ether
DescriptionDiisopropyl ether belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkyl ethers. These are organic compounds containing the dialkyl ether functional group, with the formula ROR', where R and R' are alkyl groups. It is a colorless liquid that is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents. Diisopropyl ether is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Whereas at 20 °C, diethyl ether will dissolve 1% by weight water, DIPE only dissolves half as much. DIPE is used as an antiknock agent. This reaction proceeds more easily than for ethyl ether, due to the secondary carbon next to the oxygen atom. For safety reasons, methyl tert-butyl ether is often used as an alternative solvent. Diisopropyl ether can form explosive peroxides upon standing in air for long periods. This compound has been identified in human blood as reported by (PMID: 31557052 ). Diisopropyl ether is not a naturally occurring metabolite and is only found in those individuals exposed to this compound or its derivatives. Technically Diisopropyl ether is part of the human exposome. The exposome can be defined as the collection of all the exposures of an individual in a lifetime and how those exposures relate to health. An individual's exposure begins before birth and includes insults from environmental and occupational sources.
