Lithium Methanolate is a versatile reagent in organic synthesis, particularly for esterification and alkoxide formation. It catalyzes biodiesel production via transesterification of triglycerides. In pharmaceuticals, it aids in the synthesis of active intermediates. Its strong alkalinity makes it useful in polymerization and depolymerization reactions. Always store under inert conditions to prevent degradation.
