What is Tetramethoxymethane?
The Uses of Tetramethoxymethane
Tetramethoxymethane has application within an electrolyte solution for the use of rechargeable lithium batteries. It has also been used as a reactant in the synthesis of novel anti-HIV-1 compounds.
Purification Methods
Tetramethyl orthocarbonate (methyl orthocarbonate, tetramethoxy methane) [1850-14-2] M 136.2, m -5.6o, -5o, -2o, b 113.5o/760mm, 113.5 -114o/755mm, 112-114o/atm, d 4 1.0202, n D 1.3860. Purify it in the same way as for tetraethyl orthocarbonate. [Smith Acta Chem Scand 10 1006 1956, Tiekelmann & Post J Org Chem 13 266 1948, Kantlehner et al. Synthesis 73 1977, Beilstein 3 IV 4.]
