Methoxyethane, also known as methyl ethyl ether, is a colorless gaseous ether with a medicine-like odor. It is water soluble, heavier than air and has the formula CH3OC2H5. Methoxyethane is an isomer of propanol.[1]
It is extremely flammable and will easily ignite, and its inhalation may cause asphyxiation or dizzyness. As a Lewis base, it can react with Lewis acids to form salts and reacts violently with oxidizing agents.
