Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
The half life of the magnesium methanolate was determined to be T1/2 < 1 min (Hydrolysis as a Function of pH). In all experiments the hydrolysis of magnesium methanolate in buffer solutions (pH4, pH7, pH9) could be observed immediately. Hydrolysis rates of >= 90% within 1 minute reaction time are observed for all samples. Magnesium methanolate hydrolyse into methanol and magnesium hydroxide.
The hydrolysis product methanol is readily biodegradable and the hyrolysis product magnesium hydroxide does not contain any hydrolysable functional groups.
.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life for hydrolysis:
- 1 min
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Magnesium methanolate is an extremely strong conjugate base. In contact with water magnesium methanolate reacts to form magnesium hydroxide and methanol:
(CH3O)2Mg + 2 H2O → 2 CH3OH + Mg(OH)2
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
