Product Introduction
Dichloromethyl Methyl Ether, also known as 1,1-Dichlorodimethyl Ether, is a key organic compound widely utilized in chemical synthesis. Its chemical formula is
C₂H₄Cl₂O, with a molecular weight of
114.96 g/mol. The CAS number for this product is
4885-02-3. As a trusted Dichloromethyl Methyl Ether manufacturer in China, we ensure high purity and consistent quality for various industrial applications.
Physical and Chemical Properties
Dichloromethyl Methyl Ether appears as a
colorless to almost colorless clear liquid with a pungent odor. It has a density of approximately
1.271 g/cm³ at 20°C. The melting point is below
-57°C, and the boiling point ranges from
85-86°C. This compound is sensitive to moisture and exhibits limited solubility in water but is miscible with organic solvents like ethanol and ether. These properties make it an effective reagent supplied by a reliable Dichloromethyl Methyl Ether supplier in China.
Product Applications
Dichloromethyl Methyl Ether is primarily used as a
formylating reagent for aromatic compounds in organic synthesis. It serves as a chlorinating agent for carboxylic acids and an intermediate in producing trifluoroacetic acid. Its versatility extends to the preparation of alkenones when reacting with borinic esters. Key features include its mild reactivity and efficiency, making it indispensable in fine chemical production. As a leading Dichloromethyl Methyl Ether producer in China, we cater to diverse industrial needs with this high-performance compound.
Quality Standards
Our Dichloromethyl Methyl Ether meets stringent quality specifications:
