Chloromethyl Ethyl Ether is in the synthesis of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibitiors derived from TNK-651. It is a volatile liquid that serves as a solvent in diverse industrial and scientific applications. Notably, it functions as a non-polar solvent, a characteristic that is in organic compound synthesis. This quality allows it to dissolve organic compounds while leaving water-soluble impurities untouched. It serves as a chlorine source, enabling the synthesis of chlorinated compounds.
