Overview
Applications
Sodium methoxide is a routinely used base in organic chemistry, applicable to the synthesis of numerous compounds ranging from pharmaceuticals to agrichemicals. As a base, it is employed in dehydrohalogenations and various condensations. It is also a nucleophile for the production of methyl ethers.
Dosage and directions
Sodium Methylate can affect you when breathed in. * Contact can severely irritate and burn the skin and eyes. * Breathing Sodium Methylate can irritate the nose and throat causing coughing and wheezing. * Sodium Methylate is a FLAMMABLE and REACTIVE CHEMICAL and a DANGEROUS FIRE and EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Characteristics and notes
Sodium methoxide in powder form is mainly used in pharmaceutical industry, such as the manufacture of Vitamin A1, Vitamin BI, Sulfamethoxypyridazine, Sulfadiazine, trimethoprim. It can also be used as catalyst in Biodiesel Industry. Sodium Methoxide can also be applied as edible catalyst and analytical reagent.
Safety and SDS
Read the safety data sheet before handling. Wear suitable gloves and eye protection.
