'''Diisopropyl ether''' is secondary [[ether]] that is used as a [[solvent]]. It is a colorless liquid that is slightly soluble in water, but miscible with most organic solvents. It is also used as an [[oxygenate]] [[gasoline additive]].
==Safety==
Diisopropyl ether tends to form explosive [[organic peroxide|peroxides]] upon standing in air for long periods (years). For this reason, [[methyl tert-butyl ether]] is often used as an alternative solvent.
