Common NameMethylether
DescriptionMethylether, also known as DME or methoxymethane, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dialkyl ethers. These are organic compounds containing the dialkyl ether functional group, with the formula ROR', where R and R' are alkyl groups. An ether in which the oxygen atom is connected to two methyl groups. Methylether is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). Outside of the human body, Methylether has been detected, but not quantified in, rosemaries. This could make methylether a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. It was first documented in 1992 (PMID: 16348771). Methylether is a potentially toxic compound.
