- Conclusions:
- The boiling range of Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether was determined to be 172-178°C.
- Executive summary:
The boiling range of Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether was determined to be 172-178°C based on ASTM D268-31T. The publication reports the physical properties of various laquer solvents and does not include a detailed description of the methodology or results. However, the estimation of the boiling range of the test substance is based on standard method and the publication has been subject to peer review. It is considered as reliable for assessment (reliability score of 2).

Description of key information
Based on ASTM D268-31T, the boiling point of Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether was found to range between 172 and 178°C. The geometric mean of the lower and upper value of the boiling range is reported as key value (i.e. 175°C).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
- 175 °C
Additional information
In the published study by Doolittle (Ind. Eng. Chem., 1935, 27(10):1169 -79), the physical properties of various lacquer solvents are provided. Based on ASTM D268-31T (principle of the test method not specified), the boiling point of Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether was found to range between 172 and 178°C. The geometric mean of the lower and upper value of the boiling range is reported as key value (i.e. 175°C). The data published by Doolittle (1930) were obtained based on a standard method and originate from a peer-reeviewed publication. Accordingly, it is considered as reliable and was assigned a reliability score of 2.
Other boiling point / boiling range estimates are available in various handbooks. In the CRC handbook a boiling range of 175-178°C is reported. In Lange's Handbook of Chemistry (15th ed.), Bis(2-chloroethyl) ether is described as having a boiling point equal to 178.8°C. These data are in line with the experimental data reported by Doolittle.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
