DIMETHOXYMETHANE

CAS Number: 109-87-5
Molecular Weight: 76.09
Synonym(s): Methylal, Formaldehyde dimethyl acetal
Linear Formula: CH2(OCH3)2
EC Number: 203-714-2

Dimethoxymethane, also called methylal, is a colorless flammable liquid with a low boiling point, low viscosity and excellent dissolving power.
Dimethoxymethane has a chloroform-like odor and a pungent taste.
Dimethoxymethane is the dimethyl acetal of formaldehyde.
Dimethoxymethane is soluble in three parts water and miscible with most common organic solvents.

Synthesis and structure of Dimethoxymethane:
Dimethoxymethane can be manufactured by oxidation of methanol or by the reaction of formaldehyde with methanol.
In aqueous acid, Dimethoxymethane is hydrolyzed back to formaldehyde and methanol.

Due to the anomeric effect, dimethoxymethane has a preference toward the gauche conformation with respect to each of the C–O bonds, instead of the anti conformation.
Since there are two C–O bonds, the most stable conformation is gauche-gauche, which is around 7 kcal/mol more stable than the anti-anti conformation, while the gauche-anti and anti-gauche are intermediate in energy.
Since Dimethoxymethane is one of the smallest molecules exhibiting this effect, which has great interest in carbohydrate chemistry, dimethoxymethane is often used for theoretical studies of the anomeric effect.

Applications of Dimethoxymethane:
Industrially, Dimethoxymethane is primarily used as a solvent and in the manufacture of perfumes, resins, adhesives, paint strippers and protective coatings.
Another application of Dimethoxymethane is as a gasoline-additive for increasing octane number.
Dimethoxymethane can also be used for blending with diesel.

Reagent in organic synthesis of Dimethoxymethane:
Another useful application of dimethoxymethane is to protect alcohols with a methoxymethyl (MOM) ether in organic synthesis.
This can be done using phosphorus pentoxide in dry dichloromethane or chloroform.
This is a preferred method to using chloromethyl methyl ether (MOMCl).

Alternatively, MOMCl can be prepared as a solution in a methyl ester solvent by reacting dimethoxymethane and an acyl chloride in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst like zinc bromide:
MeOCH2OMe + RC(=O)Cl → MeOCH2Cl + RC(=O)(OMe)).

The solution of the reagent can be used directly without purification, minimizing contact with the carcinogenic chloromethyl methyl ether.
Unlike the classical procedure, which uses formaldehyde and hydrogen chloride as starting materials, the highly carcinogenic side product bis(chloromethyl) ether is not generated.

Dimethoxymethane or DMM is a versatile chemical with applications in many industries such as paints, perfume, pharmacy, and fuel additives.
DMM can be produced through the reaction of methanol and formaldehyde in the presence of acid catalysts or, directly, through the selective oxidation of methanol over catalysts with redox and acid functionalities.
In terms of sustainability, the so-called bio-methanol derived from syngas obtained via biomass gasification can be used in DMM synthesis.
In this review article, we have condensed and classified the research outputs published over the past decade aimed at producing DMM from methanol over different types of catalysts.

The majority of studies described the reaction of methanol to DMM in a promising way using heterogeneous catalysts in the gas phase for the ease of product and catalyst recovery as well as suitability for continuous processing.
Likewise, the influence of parameters including catalyst component, feed composition, and temperature on the performance of catalysts utilised in DMM production is analysed and discussed.
Further, some perspectives concerning the evolution of potential DMM market with respect to the characteristics of the best catalyst materials for high DMM productivity are expressed.

The increasing concerns regarding exhaust and CO2 emissions from fossil-based transportation fuels have propelled intensive research aimed at finding alternative fuel candidates to realize a clean and renewable fuel system.
In this context, dimethoxymethane and its derivatives oxymethylene ethers, a class of oxygenated synthetic fuel, have recently attracted increasing interest because of their fascinating characteristics as a diesel blend compound to significantly reduce soot and nitrogen oxide formation.
At present, dimethoxymethane production primarily relies on an established two-step process comprising methanol oxidation and methanol condensation with formaldehyde.
Several new synthetic routes based on methanol or CO2/H2 have been proposed by adopting a reaction coupling strategy, which enables the production of dimethoxymethane in one step.

A large variety of bi- and multifunctional catalysts have been developed for each synthetic route.
This Review comprehensively summarizes the latest advances in synthetic approaches, catalyst systems, structure–activity relationships, and reaction mechanism for the catalytic synthesis of dimethoxymethane.
Comparisons regarding the features and limitations of different synthetic approaches as well as the related catalytic materials are also provided in order to indicate possible directions for future research, especially on the rational design of catalysts, a vital factor for the commercial production of dimethoxymethane.

Dimethoxymethane (OME1) is a potential blend component for diesel fuel that enables dramatic reductions in pollutant formation.
With current technology, however, the production of OME1 from renewable electricity would be less efficient than other power-to-fuel processes.
We therefore present an alternative process based on a different synthesis route: direct oxidation of methanol.
We use deterministic global optimization to maximize the exergy efficiency of the process.

The problem can be solved globally despite the complexity of the flowsheet and the detailed phase equilibrium and enthalpy models used for most units.
In contrast, only simple models are used for distillation.
The effects of this simplification and that of heat integration are quantified.
The optimized process has a higher exergy efficiency than the benchmark and eliminates all external heat demand.
