What's the difference between dimethoxymethane and formaldehyde?

Dimethoxymethane


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The compounds are N-methoxymethylated or N-ethoxymethylated using phosphorus pentoxide and dimethoxymethane or diethoxymethane, respectively, in a chlorinated solvent.
  • (2) It consists of extraction of aflatoxins from the sample with methanol, treatment of the residue with a mixture of dimethoxymethane-methanol (4+1) to further precipitate proteins, evaporation of dimethoxymethane followed by a liquid-liquid defatting with hexane and heating of the methanol-water mixture before the transfer of aflatoxins into chloroform.

Formaldehyde


Definition:

  • (n.) A colorless, volatile liquid, H2CO, resembling acetic or ethyl aldehyde, and chemically intermediate between methyl alcohol and formic acid.

Example Sentences:
