Sixteen common solvents (hexane to water) with structure, boiling point, density, polarity index P′, dielectric constant, water miscibility and safety notes such as peroxide formation.

## What the template shows

- Common solvents: properties
- Boiling point, density, polarity and miscibility, ordered from nonpolar to polar
- Sixteen everyday solvents
- Water-miscible
- Neurotoxic (n-hexane); heptane is the safer swap
- Azeotropes water (Dean–Stark); replaces benzene
- Diethyl ether
- Forms peroxides; very flammable (fp −45 °C)
- Dichloromethane (DCM)
- Lower layer in work-ups; suspected carcinogen
- Isopropanol (IPA)
- Can form peroxides on long storage
- Tetrahydrofuran (THF)
- Forms peroxides: test before distilling; BHT-stabilised
- Forms phosgene in light/air: EtOH- or amylene-stabilised
- Azeotrope 95.6% w/w with water
- Ethyl acetate
- Upper layer; hydrolyses with strong acid/base
- Glassware rinse; reacts with amines, enolates
- Toxic (blindness); dissolves silica a little
- Acetonitrile (MeCN)
- HPLC solvent; dry over 3Å sieves
- Acetic acid
- Freezes at 17 °C (glacial); corrosive
