Methylal

Methylal is mainly used in the production of anion exchange resins, as well as solvents and special fuels. Its solubility is stronger than ether and acetone, and methanol and azeotrope can dissolve nitrocellulose with high nitrogen content. However, due to its strong narcotic properties, it is not suitable for general solvents, and is usually used as a special sonicator. It is also used in perfume manufacture and production of artificial resins, as a reaction medium for Grignard reaction and Rapa (synthesis) reaction.
