Methanol (CAS 67-56-1), also known as methyl alcohol or wood alcohol, is the simplest aliphatic alcohol consisting of a methyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group . It appears as a colorless, clear, volatile liquid with a characteristic faintly sweet pungent odor .

With a purity of ≥99.9% by GC, methanol is fully miscible with water and most organic solvents. It has a melting point of -98°C, a boiling point of 64.7°C, and a flash point of approximately 9.7°C (closed cup), making it a highly flammable substance .

Methanol is one of the most fundamental and widely used organic solvents and chemical intermediates in the world, serving as a versatile building block across multiple industries from pharmaceutical synthesis to laboratory analysis and industrial manufacturing.

Key Applications:

1. Laboratory & Analytical Chemistry

Methanol is a versatile polar solvent widely used in chromatography applications . It is suitable for both reversed-phase and normal-phase HPLC, as well as GC analysis . Its high polarity, good miscibility with water, and excellent UV transparency make it ideal for gradient elution techniques, improving resolution and separation efficiency in complex mixtures. It is frequently employed in pharmaceutical quality control, food and beverage analysis, and environmental testing .

2. Pharmaceutical Synthesis

Serves as a critical solvent and starting material in the production of numerous active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and organic synthesis reactions. Used as a solvent/reagent for synthesis of various pharmaceutical compounds .

3. Organic Synthesis & Chemical Intermediate

Acts as a fundamental building block for the synthesis of numerous organic compounds, including formaldehyde, acetic acid, methyl esters, and various other derivatives. It is a key raw material in the production of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE), dimethyl ether (DME), and other industrial chemicals .

4. Industrial Applications

• Solvent for paints, coatings, inks, adhesives, and plastics 

• Fuel additive and antifreeze component in automotive and aviation fuels 

• Extraction solvent in food and flavor industries

• Cleaning agent for electronics and precision instruments

• Fixative and staining solution preparation in histology 

5. Environmental Analysis

Used as a standard in gas chromatography determinations of methanol content in alcoholic beverages and biodiesel. Also employed for trace environmental analysis, including the extraction of analytes during solid-phase extraction (SPE) processes
