Solid Sodium Methoxide

Overview: Sodium methoxide, also known as sodium methoxy, chemical formula CH3ONa.It dissolves in diethyl [ethyl] ether to form suspension, is sensitive to moisture, and decomposes in water to form methanol and sodium hydroxide: CH3ONa + H2O → CH3OH + NaOH. It is a commonly used strong base in organic synthesis.

Uses

 

Sodium methoxide is also a commonly used catalyst. Because its hygroscopicity is less than that of sodium ethoxide and its properties are more stable, its quality is easier to control during preparation. It can be used as a condensation reaction agent and esterification agent (e.g., for the condensation and esterification of ethyl acetate, acetylacetone, methyl formate, ethyl malonate, barbiturates, amino acid drugs, glycerides, etc.); pharmaceutical raw materials and reactants (barbituric acid and its derivatives, sulfonamides, vitamins, antipyrine, chloroquine, amino acids, quinacrine, phenylbutazone preparations, etc.); dyes (Hansa yellow, methyl violet, tartrazine, toluidine, etc.); fragrances (pseudoionone, cyclamate, indole, etc.); oil and fat modification, fatty acid ester preparation, nonionic surfactant preparation, pesticide preparation, etc. Sodium methoxide is used as a catalyst for transesterification of oils and fats, which can improve the physical properties of oils and fats, such as improving their shape retention and ductility. It can also be used in the chemical fiber industry.

Packaging, Storage, Handling, and Transportation

 

Solid sodium methoxide is packaged in cardboard drums or iron drums.

This product should be stored in its original packaging or a suitable airtight container in a clean, dry place. The ideal storage environment is a dark place with low humidity. Contact with water or air will cause sodium methoxide to decompose rapidly or spontaneously combust; therefore, it should be stored in a sealed container. Precautions must be taken to avoid contact with skin or eyes.
