1. Low pressure production uses a low temperature with a catalyst and hydrocarbon solvent . 2. It is miscible with water, alcohols, diethyl ether, and hydrocarbon solvents . 3. To form a hydrotrope, an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent is sulfonated creating an aromatic sulfonic acid. 4. Liquid ammonia, ether, or hydrocarbon solvents are used, the most common of which being tetrahydrofuran. 5. Life with a hydrocarbon solvent could make more use of hydrogen bonds within its biomolecules. 6. The use of hydrocarbon solvents may be preferred. 7. Alternatives to perc include washing with water and special detergents, hydrocarbon solvents and liquid carbon dioxide. 8. Hydrocarbon solvents such as benzene favour formation of the hexamer, whereas ethereal solvents favour the tetramer.9. Thus, many pyrophoric solids are sold as solutions, or dispersions in mineral oil or lighter hydrocarbon solvents . 10. Hydrocarbon solvents absorb only at short wavelengths and are thus preferred for photochemical experiments requiring high energy photons.
