Methanol, also known as Methyl alcohol, is a colorless organic solvent commonly used to dissolve substances with high and medium polarity. It is also used as a starting material/solvent for synthesis. It is commonly used as an elution solvent for chromatography. [1]

Application

Methanol is used as:

  • A solvent to prepare the Mobile phase for LC-MS/MS analysis.[2]
  • A solvent or reagent in chemical synthesis
  • A solvent in work-up phase of chemical synthesis
  • A disinfectant to clean laboratory space. [3]
