Bis(chloromethyl) ether
open-in-new
<p>Bis(chloromethyl) ether is an <a href="/facts/Organic_compound/gqCNaN45">organic compound</a> with the chemical formula (ClCH2)2O. It is a colourless liquid with an unpleasant suffocating odour and it is one of the <a href="/facts/Chloroalkyl_ether/CUfdKEHd">chloroalkyl ethers</a>. Bis(chloromethyl) ether was once produced on a large scale, but was found to be highly <a href="/facts/Carcinogen/soH8Y9CE">carcinogenic</a> and thus such production has ceased. </p>
