Two chemical reactions on it simultaneously produce formaldehyde: that shown above and the dehydrogenation reaction: CH 3 OH → CH 2 O + H 2 In principle, formaldehyde could be generated by oxidation of methane , but this route is not industrially viable because the methanol is more easily oxidized than methane.

Methylene (IUPAC name: Methylidene, also called carbene or methene) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH 2 (also written [CH 2]). It is a colourless gas that fluoresces in the mid-infrared range, and only persists in dilution, or as an adduct. Methylene is the simplest carbene.
In organic chemistry, the Mannich reaction is a three-component organic reaction that involves the amino alkylation of an acidic proton next to a carbonyl (C=O) functional group by formaldehyde (H−CHO) and a primary or secondary amine (−NH 2) or ammonia (NH 3). [1] The final product is a β-amino-carbonyl compound also known as a Mannich base.
Methanediol, also known as formaldehyde monohydrate or methylene glycol, is an organic compound with chemical formula CH 2 (OH) 2.It is the simplest geminal diol.In aqueous solutions it coexists with oligomers (short polymers).
Aldehyde structure. In organic chemistry, an aldehyde (/ ˈ æ l d ɪ h aɪ d /) is an organic compound containing a functional group with the structure R−CH=O. [1] The functional group itself (without the "R" side chain) can be referred to as an aldehyde but can also be classified as a formyl group.
To make polyoxymethylene homopolymer, anhydrous formaldehyde must be generated. The principal method is by reaction of the aqueous formaldehyde with an alcohol to create a hemiformal, dehydration of the hemiformal/water mixture (either by extraction or vacuum distillation) and release of the formaldehyde by heating the hemiformal.
It has the identical chemical formula with the methoxy group (−O−CH 3) that differs only in the attachment site and orientation to the rest of the molecule. However, their chemical properties are different. [1] [2] Hydroxymethyl is the side chain of encoded amino acid serine. [3]
