Methoxymethanol forms spontaneously when a water solution of formaldehyde and methanol are mixed. [3] [1] or when formaldehyde is bubbled through methanol.[4]In space methoxymethanol can form when methanol radicals (CH 2 OH or CH 3 O) react.
Sodium methoxide is prepared by treating methanol with sodium: 2 Na + 2 CH 3 OH → 2 CH 3 ONa + H 2. The reaction is so exothermic that ignition is possible. The resulting solution, which is colorless, is often used as a source of sodium methoxide, but the pure material can be isolated by evaporation followed by heating to remove residual methanol.
The Spanish Wikipedia (Spanish: Wikipedia en español) is the Spanish-language edition of Wikipedia, a free online encyclopedia. It has 2,010,226 articles. It has 2,010,226 articles. Started in May 2001, it reached 100,000 articles on 8 March 2006, and 1,000,000 articles on 16 May 2013.
The Enciclopedia Libre was founded by contributors to the Spanish Wikipedia who decided to start an independent project. Led by Edgar Enyedy, they left Wikipedia on 26 February 2002, and created the new website, provided by the University of Seville for free, with the freely licensed articles of the Spanish Wikipedia.

The structure of a typical methoxy group. In organic chemistry, a methoxy group is the functional group consisting of a methyl group bound to oxygen.This alkoxy group has the formula R−O−CH 3.
Methanol and its vapours are flammable. Moderately toxic for small animals – Highly toxic to large animals and humans (in high concentrations) – May be fatal/lethal or cause blindness and damage to the liver, kidneys, and heart if swallowed – Toxicity effects from repeated over exposure have an accumulative effect on the central nervous system, especially the optic nerve – Symptoms may ...
The hydroxymethyl group is a substituent with the structural formula −CH 2 −OH.It consists of a methylene bridge (−CH 2 − unit) bonded to a hydroxyl group (−OH).This makes the hydroxymethyl group an alcohol.
