Dimethoxyethane, also known as glyme, monoglyme, dimethyl glycol, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dimethyl cellosolve, and DME, is a colorless,
water
.
Production
Monoglyme is produced industrially by the reaction of
- CH3OCH3 + CH2CH2O → CH3OCH2CH2OCH3
Applications as solvent and ligand
Together with a high-permittivity solvent (e.g. propylene carbonate), dimethoxyethane is used as the low-viscosity component of the solvent for electrolytes of lithium batteries. In the laboratory, DME is used as a coordinating solvent.
Dimethoxyethane is often used as a higher-boiling-point alternative to
oligo- and polysaccharides
.
PTFE etching solution that removes fluorine atoms from the surface, which get replaced by oxygen, hydrogen, and water. This physically etches the surface as well to prepare the surface for better adhesion.[6]
