Preparation
Under the action of the alkali, methanol andCOReactionMethyl:
CH3OH + CO → HCOOCH3
In industrial production, this is reflected in the state of liquid and under pressure. The typical reaction conditions are 80 ° C and 40 atmospheres. Widely used base for theSodium.HydrolysisTo be formic acid methyl formate.
HCOOCH3 + H2O → HCOOH + CH3OH
