Specification:

 Methoxyethene , its CAS NO. is 107-25-5, the synonyms are 1-Methoxyethylene ; agrisynthmve ; Ethene,methoxy-;Ethenylmethylether ; ether,ethenylmethyl ; Ether, methyl vinyl . Methoxyethene (CAS NO.107-25-5) reacts vigorously with oxidizing materials. Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat, flame or strong oxidizing agents. Reacts, possibly explosively with halogens (bromine, chlorine) or hydrogen halides (hydrogen bromide, hydrogen chloride) [Baker, 1980, p. 487]. On contact with dilute acids or even mildly acidic solids (calcium chloride, ceramics) undergoes rapid, exothermic homopolymerization, which cannot be prevented by antioxidants. Must be stored in the presence of base [MVE Brochure, Billingham, ICI, 1962].
