LITHIUM METHOXIDE Cas 865-34-9

Name: Lithium methodology 


CAS RN: 865-34-9 


Molecular formula: CH3LiO 


Molecular weight: 37.97 


Physical properties: White powder, which is not easy to store. Generally, the product is a 

colorless and transparent solution of methanol containing less than 10%. It is volatile, 

flammable, and easily absorbs water from the air to decompose and produce lithium 

hydroxide, making the solution turbid and toxic. It should be stored in a closed container. React violently when exposed to water. 


Packaging specifications: 20kg, 10kg/cardboard drum (solid) 


Storage: Stable at room temperature and pressure, avoiding contact with oxidants and moisture. 


Usage: Mainly used as a condensation agent and strong base catalyst for organic synthesis reactions, as well as a methoxylation 

agent for the production of vitamins and sulfamethoxazole drugs. A small amount is used for pesticide production. It can also be 

used as a catalyst for edible fatty oils.
