===Laboratory reagent and solvent=== Dimethyl ether is a low-temperature solvent and extraction agent, applicable to specialised laboratory procedures. Its usefulness is limited by its low [[boiling point]] ({{convert|-23|C}}), but the same property facilitates its removal from reaction mixtures. Dimethyl ether is the precursor to the useful [[alkylating agent]], [[trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate]].<ref>{{OrgSynth | author = T. J.
