Chloromethyl Methyl Ether is a flammable liquid that comprises two carbon, five hydrogen, one chlorine, and one oxygen atom. Its chemical formula is given by C2H5ClO. It is a clear, colorless compound with a molecular weight of 80.51 g/mol. It is a liquid irritant that can affect skin or eyes on direct exposure. It has a strong, irritating odor with a melting and boiling point measured -103.5 °C and 59 °C, respectively. It is a highly flammable liquid at -8 °C.

It decomposes when combined with water. However, it is miscible in various other chemicals, such as ether and ethanol. Similarly, it is soluble in chloroform and ethyl ether. Its density is measured around 1.0603 g/cm3 at 20 °C. Its vapor pressure is given by 30 mm Hg at 22 °C. It remains stable under normal conditions. The compound decomposes when reacted with hot ethyl alcohol. It also decomposes when heated at an elevated temperature and emits toxic, hazardous fumes of hydrogen chloride. The compound is highly volatile and corrosive in nature. It is moisture sensitive and evolves hydrogen chloride in the presence of moisture in the atmosphere. It can corrode metals in the presence of moisture.

It is an excellent alkylating agent that has several applications in the chemical industry. It serves as an alkylating agent in different chemical reactions and leads to the production of other chemicals on a large scale. Moreover, it is utilized in various other market sectors, including plastic, textile, and other industries. The compound is used in manufacturing plastic materials. It can also be used in treating textiles in the textile industry. Chloromethyl methyl ester is a liquid ester that can be used in the production of ion exchange resins as well.
