Methanol?

WHITE_DEVIL:
Thanks
is it possible to make 'sodium methoxide' and use this turn say, 2,5 di bromo benzaldehyde to 2,5 dimethoxy benzaldehyde (+ 2NaBr)
Also can this be done with other group 1 metals such as Li?

Kreist:
are used for transethylation of ester groups. Free hydroxy groups will not be methylated. Maybe you could use a quartenary ammonium salt for that?
It is good to have an end to journey toward;
but it is the journey that matters, in the end.
