It is used as an alkylating agent and industrial solvent to manufacture dodecylbenzyl chloride, water repellents, ion-exchange resins, polymers, and as a chloromethylation reagent. It is a known human carcinogen. In organic synthesis, it is used from introducing the methoxymethyl (MOM) protecting group.

An alternative method to prepare a MOM ether is by using dimethoxymethane. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License. See http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ for details. Source: Wikipedia, Chloromethyl methyl ether
