1. Hōʻalo i ka hoʻopili ʻana me nā oxidants, nā waikawa a me nā alkali. He wai wela ia, no laila e ʻoluʻolu e hoʻolohe i ke kumu ahi. ʻAʻole ia e ʻino i ke keleawe, ke kila māmā, ke kila kila a i ʻole aluminika.
2. Nā waiwai kemika: paʻa paʻa, hiki i ka alkali ke hoʻolalelale i kona hydrolysis, ʻaʻohe hopena o ka waikawa i ka hydrolysis. Ma ke alo o nā mea metala, silica gel, a me ka carbon activated, hoʻoheheʻe ia ma 200 ° C e hana i ka carbon dioxide a me ka ethylene oxide. Ke hana ia me ka phenol, ka waikawa carboxylic a me ka amine, β-hydroxyethyl ether, β-hydroxyethyl ester a me β-hydroxyethyl urethane i hana ʻia. E hoʻolapalapa me ka alkali e hana i ka carbonate. Hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻia ka Ethylene glycol carbonate i ka wela kiʻekiʻe me ka alkali ma ke ʻano he catalyst e hana i ka polyethylene oxide. Ma lalo o ka hana o ka sodium methoxide, hana ʻia ka sodium monomethyl carbonate. E hoʻoheheʻe i ka ethylene glycol carbonate i loko o ka waika hydrobromic concentrated, e wela iā ia ma 100°C no kekahi mau hola i loko o kahi paipa i hoʻopaʻa ʻia, a hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i carbon dioxide a me ka ethylene bromide.
3. Aia i loko o ke kinoea puhi.
