Dimethoxyethane, also known as glyme, monoglyme, dimethyl glycol, ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, dimethyl cellosolve, and DME, is a colorless, aprotic, and liquid ether that is used as a solvent, especially in batteries. Dimethoxyethane is miscible with water.
==Production== Monoglyme is produced industrially by the reaction of dimethylether with ethylene oxide: CH3OCH3 + CH2CH2O → CH3OCH2CH2OCH3
