Dichloromethyl methyl ether

Dichloromethyl methyl ether (DCMME) is a reagent heavily used in the field of organic synthesis. It can be used in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals primarily as a solvent, which helps in the dissolution of resins, waxes, fats, rubber and cellulose. This colorless liquid is nonconductive and has a low refractive index, making it ideal as a good solvent for a multitude of organic reactions.
