Butyl diglyme looks like a useful high boiling aprotic solvent, with selective extraction properties (for gold chloride), but it's rather pricey.
Butyl cellosolve is readily available and cheap.
Anyone have any ideas on how butyl cellosove could be dehydratively coupled to make butyl diglyme with good yield on a preparative scale without using
exotic expensive reagents?
