Beschreibung

Chloromethyl ethyl ether is a trifluoroacetic acid derivative that is used as a solvent. It reacts with radiation and forms the highly reactive hydroxyl radical. Chloromethyl ethyl ether can be used to destroy brain infarction from radiation treatment, although it has no use in clinical medicine. Chloromethyl ethyl ether also has high values for transport properties and is resistant to hydrolysis by acids. This compound is synthesized by reacting chloroethanol with methyl chloroformate in the presence of hydrochloric acid. The biological properties of chloromethyl ethyl ether are not well understood; however, it has been shown to bind with receptors on cells and inhibit protein synthesis.
