Methanol
Methanol is the primary alcohol that is the simplest aliphatic alcohol, comprising a methyl and an alcohol group. It has a role as a Mycoplasma genitalium metabolite, a fuel, an amphiprotic solvent, a mouse metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a human metabolite. It is a volatile organic compound, a primary alcohol, an alkyl alcohol and a one-carbon compound. It is a conjugate acid of a methoxide. — ChEBI

Research this identityContinue the compliance check
1. Confirm identity
Match the supplier specification, CAS/EC identifiers and composition to this official label name. Similar wording is not proof of chemical equivalence.
2. Review restrictions
Check every exact Annex record shown above, plus CMR, nanomaterial, SCCS and later-amendment requirements that may apply.
3. Verify the formula
Evaluate concentration, product type, purity, warnings, claims and each target market before making a compliance decision.
