Dimethoxymethane, also called methylal, is a colorless flammable liquid with a low boiling point, low viscosity and excellent dissolving power. It has a chloroform-like odor and a pungent taste. It is the dimethyl acetal of formaldehyde. Dimethoxymethane is soluble in three parts water [clarification needed] and miscible with most common ...
Dimethyl ether (DME; also known as methoxymethane) is the organic compound with the formula CH 3 OCH 3, (sometimes ambiguously simplified to C 2 H 6 O as it is an isomer of ethanol).
Structure of the coordination complex NbCl 3 (dimethoxyethane)(3-hexyne). [5]Together with a high-permittivity solvent (e.g. propylene carbonate), dimethoxyethane is used as the low-viscosity component of the solvent for electrolytes of lithium batteries.
Chloromethyl methyl ether (CMME) is a compound with formula CH 3 OCH 2 Cl. A colorless liquid, it is a chloroalkyl ether.It is used as an alkylating agent.In organic synthesis, it is used for introducing the methoxymethyl ether (MOM) protecting group, [3] and is thus often called MOM-Cl or MOM chloride.
[15] [16] The term "methyl" was derived in about 1840 by back-formation from "methylene", and was then applied to describe "methyl alcohol" (which since 1892 is called "methanol"). Methyl is the IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry term for an alkane (or alkyl) molecule, using the prefix "meth-" to indicate the presence of a single carbon.
The original Pictet–Spengler reaction was the reaction of phenethylamine and dimethoxymethane, catalysed by hydrochloric acid forming a tetrahydroisoquinoline. The Pictet–Spengler reaction has been applied to solid-phase combinatorial chemistry with great success. [4] [5]
Diglyme, or bis(2-methoxyethyl) ether, is an organic compound with the chemical formula (CH 3 OCH 2 CH 2) 2 O.It is a colorless liquid with a slight ether-like odor. It is a solvent with a high boiling point.
