Preparation of Dimethoxymethane:
there are two simple ways. One is it is prepared by oxidation of methanol . The other way is by the reaction of formaldehyde with methanol.
Uses information of Dimethoxymethane:
This chemical mainly used in organic synthesis. Here is an example, it can be used to prepared 1,3-dithia-5-cycloheptene with but-2c-ene-1,4-dithiol .
This reaction just needs a reagent boron trifluoride . The yield is about 37%.
Safety information of Dimethoxymethane:
When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it as the following:
Moderately toxic by subcutaneous route. Mildly toxic by ingestion and inhalation. Can cause injury to lungs, liver, kidneys, and the heart. A narcotic and anesthetic in high concentrations. A very dangerous fire hazard when exposed to heat, flame, or oxidizers. Moderately explosive when exposed to heat or flame. May ignite or explode when heated with oxygen. To fight fire, use foam, CO2, dry chemical. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
