Polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether Usage And Synthesis

Definition

ChEBI: 1,2-dimethoxyethane is a diether that is the 1,2-dimethyl ether of ethane-1,2-diol. It has a role as a non-polar solvent. It is functionally related to an ethylene glycol.

Safety Profile

Experimental reproductive effects. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes.
