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.
Impure dimethyl sulfate was prepared in the early 19th century. [4] J. P. Claesson later extensively studied its preparation. [5] [6]It was investigated for possible use in chemical warfare in World War I [7] [8] in 75% to 25% mixture with methyl chlorosulfonate (CH 3 ClO 3 S) called "C-stoff" in Germany, or with chlorosulfonic acid called "Rationite" in France.
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.
Ethylene oxide is an organic compound with the formula C 2 H 4 O.It is a cyclic ether and the simplest epoxide: a three-membered ring consisting of one oxygen atom and two carbon atoms.

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.
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.
