metoksimetaani
Metoksimetaani, also known as dimethyl ether (DME), is a simple organic compound with the chemical formula CH3OCH3. It is a colorless gas at room temperature and pressure, with a faint, ether-like odor. DME is a derivative of methanol, where two methyl groups are linked by an oxygen atom. It is the simplest ether.
Historically, DME was known as wood ether due to its production from methanol derived from wood. Today,
DME is highly flammable and has a low boiling point, -24.8 degrees Celsius. Its physical properties make
Industrially, DME is used as an aerosol propellant, replacing chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) due to its lower environmental
