Sodium Methoxide
Chemical Formula of Sodium Methoxide: NaOCH3
Other names: Sodium Methylate, Sodium Salt
Appearance: White Crystalline Powder
Uses of Sodium Methoxide:
- Organic Chemistry: it is used in the synthesis of several chemical compounds such as pharmaceuticals and agrichemicals. It is also used as a base in aldol condensations and dehydrohalogenations. It acts as a nucleophile in the manufacturing of methyl ethers.
- Pharmaceutical Industry: it is used in the manufacture of substances like Vitamins A1 and B1, Trimethoprim, Sulfadiazine, Sulfadoxine, Sulfamethoxypyridazine
Biodiesel Industry: it is used as a catalyst for producing fatty acid methyl esters or FAMEs. - It can be used for processing edible oils and fats and also in the preparation of some other chemical products.
- It can be used as an edible catalyst as well as an analytical reagent.
- It can be used in production of pesticides.
- Sodium methoxide has been used in the preparation of 5-(3-azidopropyl) uridine. It may be used in the synthesis of methyl 2-cyano-lup-3-hydroxy-2-en-28-oate (CN-BA), a 2-cyano derivative of betulinic acid (BA).
- Sodium methoxide may be used as an alkali catalyst for the production of fatty acid methyl esters (biodiesel) from vegetable oils via transesterification.
