The raw materials for producing sodium methoxide are primarily:
- Metallic Sodium (Na) - high-purity sodium metal is required for the reaction.
- Methanol (CH₃OH) - typically anhydrous methanol to avoid side reactions with water.
Production process: Metallic sodium reacts with methanol in an exothermic reaction to form sodium methoxide (CH₃ONa) and hydrogen gas:
Na+CH3OH→CH3ONa+21H2↑
This reaction is usually carried out under controlled conditions with exclusion of moisture and air to ensure product purity and safety.
