Product Description
Sodium methoxide 5.4M (30 wt.%) solution in methanol is a powerful base widely used in organic synthesis, particularly in transesterification reactions for biodiesel production. The AcroSeal® grade ensures high purity and stability, making it ideal for research labs, academic institutions, and industrial applications.
This solution is commonly employed as a catalyst in organic reactions, including the preparation of pharmaceutical intermediates and fine chemicals. Its strong basicity accelerates reactions while maintaining selectivity, making it a preferred choice for chemists and researchers.
When working with sodium methoxide, always follow proper lab safety protocols. The solution is hygroscopic and reacts violently with water, releasing methanol vapors. For best results, store the bottle tightly sealed under nitrogen or argon to prevent degradation.
