Sodium methoxide is kind of alkoxide from methanol. The chemical formula is CH3ONa, is commonly used in organic synthesis.

Sodium methoxide is often stored in Methanol or ethanol solvents, soluble in ether. When meeting water, it decomposes into methanol and sodium hydroxide: CH3ONa + H2O, CH3OH + NaOH

Sodium methanol product has two forms: solid and liquid, solid is a pure sodium methanol, and liquid is a methanol solution of sodium methoxide, with purity of 27.5~31%.

Liquid sodium methoxide is colorless or slightly yellow sticky liquid, sensitive to oxygen, flammable, explosive. Very easy to absorb moisture. Soluble in methanol and ethanol, water is decomposed into methanol and hydrogen oxide, in the air above 126.6 C. degree. Insoluble in benzene and toluene. Have strong stimulation, strong corrosive. Used for the preparation of vitamin B1 and sulfadiazine etc. It can also be used partially for pesticide production. It can also be used for the treatment of edible fats and edible oils (in particular, the treatment of lard) as catalyst. It can also be used as analytical reagents.

Solid sodium methoxide is colorless amorphous powder, sensitive to oxygen, flammable, soluble in methanol, ethanol. In water it decomposes into methanol and sodium hydroxide, more than 126.6 degrees Celsius in the air decomposition. Mainly used in the production of drugs, VB6 and VA, Sodium methoxide is also an organic synthesis of the catalyst for pesticide production and oil processing industry.
