Sodium methoxide

Sodium methoxide is a white to pale yellow solid, typically supplied as a solution in methanol or as a free-flowing powder; it is hygroscopic, non-volatile, and decomposes before melting (decomposition onset ~127 °C). It is an alkali metal alkoxide and a strong base widely used as a catalyst and reagent in organic synthesis. Its primary industrial applications include transesterification reactions for biodiesel production and as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. It is also employed in the manufacture of silicone polymers, coatings, and specialty esters where controlled deprotonation or nucleophilic methylation is required.

1. It can be used as alkaline condensing agent and catalyst in organic synthesis. It can be used to synthesize perfumes, dyes and the like. It is also the raw material of vitamin B1, A and sulfadiazine. 2. It can be used as condensing agent in organic synthesis and catalyst in edible oil process. It is also the important raw material to synthesize sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfa synergist and the like. 3. It is the main raw material used for medicine, pesticide. It is also used in dyes and chemical fiber industry.4. Fatty transesterification catalyst. It can change the fat structure so that it is suitable for margarine. It must be removed in the final food.5. It is mainly used as condensing agent, strong alkaline catalyst and methoxy agent. It can be used for the preparation of vitamin B1 and A, sulfadiazine and other drugs. And little can be used in the production of pesticides. It can also be used as the catalyst for processing edible fats and oils (especially processing lard). It can also be used as analytical reagent.6. It is widely used in perfumes, dyes and other industries. It is mainly used as condensing agent, strong alkaline catalyst and methoxy agent for the preparation of vitamin B1 and A, sulfadiazine and other drugs. Little can be used in the production of pesticides. It can also be used as the catalyst for processing edible fats and oils (especially processing lard). It can also be used as analytical reagent.7. It can be used as condensing agent in organic synthesis.
