Alias: sodium methoxide
Solid sodium methoxide is a colorless amorphous powder, sensitive to oxygen, flammable, soluble in methanol and ethanol, and decomposes into methanol and hydrogen when exposed to water Sodium oxide decomposes in air above 126.6°C. Mainly used in the production of sulfa drugs, VB6 and VA, sodium methoxide is also a catalyst for organic synthesis and used in pesticide production and oil processing industry.
Liquid sodium methoxide is a colorless or slightly yellow viscous liquid. Sensitive to oxygen, flammable and explosive. Very easy to absorb moisture. Soluble in methanol and ethanol, decomposes into methanol and sodium hydroxide when exposed to water, and decomposes in air above 126.6°C. Insoluble in benzene and toluene. It is highly irritating and extremely corrosive. It is used as a condensing agent, a strong alkaline catalyst, and a methoxylating agent for the preparation of vitamin B1 and A, sulfadiazine and other drugs. A small amount is used in pesticide production. It can also be used as a catalyst for processing edible fats and oils (especially lard). It can also be used as an analytical reagent.

First aid ·Skin contact: Take off contaminated clothing immediately and use Rinse with plenty of running water for 20 to 30 minutes. Seek medical treatment ·Eye contact: Immediately lift eyelids and rinse thoroughly with plenty of running water or saline for 10-15 minutes. Seek medical treatment ·Inhalation: Leave the scene quickly to fresh air. Keep your airway open. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Breathing and heartbeat stop. Perform CPR immediately. Seek medical treatment ·Ingestion: Rinse mouth with water and give milk or egg white. Seek medical treatment |
