Technology Process of Calcium methoxide

There total 15 articles about Calcium methoxide which guide to synthetic route it. The literature collected by LookChem mainly comes from the sharing of users and the free literature resources found by Internet computing technology. We keep the original model of the professional version of literature to make it easier and faster for users to retrieve and use. At the same time, we analyze and calculate the most feasible synthesis route with the highest yield for your reference as below:

synthetic route:

Reference yield:

methanol (67-56-1) + calcium carbide (75-20-7) → calcium methylate (2556-53-8) + acetylene (74-86-2,25067-58-7)

Guidance literature:

In methanol; abs. CH3OH, powdered CaC2; ambient pressure and temperature;;

Reference yield:

methanol (67-56-1) → sodium methylate (124-41-4) + calcium methylate (2556-53-8)
