MÉTHYLE DE CHLOROMETHYL ETHER (CMME)-107-30-2

CMME has been used in the past as an intermediate in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals. However, its use has been largely discontinued due to its highly toxic and carcinogenic nature.

In the past, CMME was used as a methylating agent in organic synthesis. It could react with various nucleophiles, such as amines, alcohols, and thiols, to form methylated derivatives. This reaction was commonly used in the synthesis of various organic compounds, including drugs and natural products.
