1. Manufacture of insecticides, polymers; degreasing solvent; intermediate for polysulfide
rubber.
2. Bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane is an chloroether used to manufacture polysulfide polymers.
General Description
A colorless liquid. Boiling point 217.5°C, Flash point 230°F. Density 1.23 g / cm3. May be toxic by ingestion or inhalation. Severely irritates skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Used as a solvent.
Air & Water Reactions
Slightly soluble in water.
Reactivity Profile
Bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane, the b-chloroethyl acetal of formaldehyde, is incompatible with oxidizing agents.
Health Hazard
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Toxic by inhalation and ingestion; Strong irritant.
Fire Hazard
Not Flammable.
Potential Exposure
The chloroalkyl ethers have a wide
variety of industrial uses in organic synthesis, treatment of
textiles; the manufacture of polymers; polysulfide rubbers,
and insecticides; as degreasing agents and solvents; and in
the preparation of ion exchange resins.
Environmental fate
Biological. Using settled domestic wastewater inoculum, bis(2-chloroethoxy)methane (5 and 10
mg/L) did not degrade after 28 d of incubation at 25 °C (Tabak et al., 1981).
Chemical/Physical. At influent concentrations of 10, 1.0, 0.1, and 0.01 mg/L, the GAC
adsorption capacities were 50, 11, 2.6, and 0.6 mg/g, respectively (Dobbs and Cohen, 1980).

Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1—Poisonous materials, Technical
Name Required.
Incompatibilities
The aqueous solution is a strong acid;
keep away from bases and alkaline material. Incompatible
with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides, permanganates,
perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact
may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline
materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.
Contact with mineral acids causes decomposition.
Waste Disposal
Consult with environmental
regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices.
Generators of waste containing this contaminant
(≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regulations governing
storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal.
Destroy by high-temperature incineration with HCl scrubber.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 111-91-1 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,1 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 1 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 111-91:
(5*1)+(4*1)+(3*1)+(2*9)+(1*1)=31
31 % 10 = 1
So 111-91-1 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Synthesis of acyclic nucleoside phosphonates as antiviral compounds
Wormstadt,Brinckmann,Gutschow,Eger
, p. 1187 - 1191 (2000)
Reaction of 6-chloropyrimidines with diethyl [(2-aminoethoxy)methyl]phosphonate allows for a ready access to acyclic nucleoside phosphonates. A series of 5-substituted pyrimidines bearing a phosphonate side chain at position 6 were synthesized and tested against herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1). Some compounds showed weak antiviral activity against HSV-1.
