CAS 124-41-4 corresponds to sodium methoxide, which is a strongly alkaline organometallic compound with the molecular formula CH3 ONa. It is widely used as an organic synthesis catalyst, methoxy agent, and pharmaceutical industry.

Core Information
-Chinese name: Sodium methoxide (alias: Sodium methoxy, Sodium methyl)
-English name: Sodium methylate
-Molecular formula: CH ∝ ONa (or written as CH ∝ NaO)
-Molecular weight: 54.02
-Appearance: The anhydrous product is a white to colorless amorphous powder; The solution is usually a transparent liquid (soluble in methanol)
-Melting point: about 126-127 ℃ (easily decomposed when heated in air)
-Flash point: 11 ℃ (highly flammable)
-Water solubility: It reacts violently with water and decomposes into methanol and sodium hydroxide
-Stability: Sensitive to moisture and air, requires sealed and dry storage; Incompatible with acid and chlorinated solvents

main purpose
1. Organic synthesis: used as a strong base catalyst for condensation reactions, Claisen condensation, ester exchange, etc.
2. Pharmaceutical industry: used for synthesizing vitamin B1, A, and sulfonamide drugs (such as sulfamethoxazole).
3. Pesticide and oil treatment: Used as a catalyst for pesticide intermediates and as a catalyst for transesterification of edible fats/oils (such as lard).
4. Analytical reagents: used for titration and specific chemical analysis.

Safety and Storage
-Hazard: Highly corrosive (GHS05), flammable solid (GHS02), releases heat and flammable methanol vapor when in contact with water; Inhaling high concentrations of vapor can cause pulmonary edema.
-Protective measures: Wear corrosion-resistant gloves, goggles, and gas masks during operation; The equipment should be sealed to avoid contact with skin and eyes.
-Storage conditions: Sealed in a cool, dry, and well ventilated place (5-30 ℃), away from sources of fire and water; Store and transport according to the regulations for flammable hazardous chemicals (UN 1431, category 4.2+8).
