Application

1. Esterification reaction: Sodium methanol can be used as a catalyst for esterification reaction, which reacts acid or acid anhydride with alcohol to produce ester. For example, chemical sodium methoxide can be used to esterify synthetic flavors and fragrances.

2. Condensation reaction: Sodium methanol can be used as a catalyst for condensation reaction, which condensates aldehydes or ketones with another organic or inorganic compound to produce carbonyl compounds or alcohols. This is often used in organic synthesis to synthesize macromolecular compounds.

3. Alkali catalyzed reaction: In the rearrangement and addition reaction of organic compounds such as alcohols, ethers and amides, sodium methanol can be used as a base catalyst to promote the reaction.

4. Reducing agent: Sodium methanol can be used as a reducing agent for metal reduction reaction, reducing metal ions to the corresponding metal. For example, it can be used to reduce metal ions in acidic solutions to metals.
