General description
Methanol is the simplest aliphatic alcohol consisting of methyl and alcohol groups. Methanol is often used as a solvent as well as a reagent in research labs and chemical industries.
Application
Methanol can be used:
- To prepare methanolic uranyl acetate solution that may be utilized as a stain for tissues.
- In the synthesis of 4-nitro-N-(quinolin-8-yl) benzenesulfonamide by microwave reaction.
Features and Benefits
Methanol has:
- Low freezing point.
- Miscible in water.
Other Notes
Suitable for use as a fixative and in preparing various Romanowsky type staining solutions.

This Communication describes the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol via tandem catalysis with dimethylamine and a homogeneous ruthenium complex. Unlike previous examples with homogeneous catalysts, this CO2-to-CH3OH process proceeds under basic reaction conditions. The dimethylamine is proposed to play
Methanol.
