Uses
2-(Methoxymethyl)oxirane is used in the fixation of biological tissues or in collagen bioprosthetic fixation processes.
General Description
Clear colorless liquid.
Air & Water Reactions
Highly flammable. May be sensitive to exposure to air(peroxide formation). . Water soluble.
Reactivity Profile
GLYCIDYL METHYL ETHER, an ether can act as a base. They form salts with strong acids and addition complexes with Lewis acids. The complex between diethyl ether and boron trifluoride is an example. Ethers may react violently with strong oxidizing agents. In other reactions, which typically involve the breaking of the carbon-oxygen bond, ethers are relatively inert.
Fire Hazard
GLYCIDYL METHYL ETHER is flammable.
