Diethyl ether is mostly used in solvent extraction due to all of the following reasons except:
- Its solvation capacity is very high.
- Being inert, it does not react with most organic compound.
- There are two lone pairs in it, therefore it acts as a strong nucleophile.
- Its boiling point is low, therefore, it can be easily separated by distillation.
