Overview of Chloromethyl Methyl Ether

Chloromethyl Methyl Ether (CMME) is a highly reactive chlorinated ether used as a chemical intermediate in specialty organic synthesis. It is primarily applied where controlled chloromethylation is required in pharmaceutical and fine chemical manufacturing.

In industrial synthesis, Chloromethyl Methyl Ether is commonly used alongside Formaldehyde, Hydrochloric Acid, and Methanol to introduce chloromethyl functional groups into aromatic and heterocyclic compounds.
