CAS 7040-23-5: 1,1′-Dimethyl 2,2′-oxybis[acetate]

Description: 1,1′-Dimethyl 2,2′-oxybis[acetate], with the CAS number 7040-23-5, is an organic compound characterized by its ester functional groups. It features two acetate groups linked by an ether oxygen, along with two methyl groups attached to the central carbon atoms. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, fruity odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic methyl groups. The compound is used in various applications, including as a solvent and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Its chemical stability and relatively low toxicity make it suitable for use in laboratory settings. However, like many organic solvents, it should be handled with care to avoid inhalation or skin contact. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this substance.
