The oxidation products derived from methyl are hydroxymethyl group −CH 2 OH, formyl group −CHO, and carboxyl group −COOH. For example, permanganate often converts a methyl group to a carboxyl (−COOH) group, e.g. the conversion of toluene to benzoic acid. Ultimately oxidation of methyl groups gives protons and carbon dioxide, as seen in ...
Ethanol is the systematic name defined by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry for a compound consisting of an alkyl group with two carbon atoms (prefix "eth-"), having a single bond between them (infix "-an-") and an attached −OH functional group (suffix "-ol").
In naming simple alcohols, the name of the alkane chain loses the terminal e and adds the suffix -ol, e.g., as in "ethanol" from the alkane chain name "ethane". [19] When necessary, the position of the hydroxyl group is indicated by a number between the alkane name and the -ol: propan-1-ol for CH 3 CH 2 CH 2 OH, propan-2-ol for CH 3 CH(OH)CH 3.

For example, CH 3 −CH(OH)−COOH (lactic acid) is named 2-hydroxypropanoic acid with no "1" stated. Some traditional names for common carboxylic acids (such as acetic acid) are in such widespread use that they are retained in IUPAC nomenclature, [7] though systematic names like ethanoic acid are
2 ch 3 ch 2 oh + 2 na → 2 ch 3 ch 2 ona + h 2 The reaction of sodium hydroxide with anhydrous ethanol suffers from incomplete conversion to the ethoxide, but can still produce dry NaOEt by precipitation using acetone, [ 4 ] or by drying using additional NaOH.
At about 270 Pa of pressure and ambient temperature, the methane ion CH + 4 will react with neutral methane to yield methanium and a methyl radical: [11] CH + 4 + CH 4 → CH + 5 + CH 3 • The methanium ion can also be made in the gas phase via the reaction of methane and an H + ion (i.e. a proton). [citation needed] CH 4 + H + (g) → CH + 5
The trivial name carbyne is the preferred IUPAC name. Following the substitutive nomenclature, the molecule is viewed as methane with three hydrogen atoms removed, yielding the systematic name "methylidyne". Following the additive nomenclature, the molecule is viewed as a hydrogen atom bonded to a carbon atom, yielding the name "hydridocarbon".
