Methyl is the simplest alkyl group with the molecular structure CH3- or Me-. When combined with a hydrogen atom (H), it forms methane (CH4). The methyl group, when existing independently, is referred to as the methyl radical.
Methyl radicals are produced through the thermal decomposition of methane or the photolysis of acetone. These radicals can recombine to form ethane (CH3-CH3).
When methyl groups bond with hydroxy groups, methanol (CH3-OH) is formed, which is also known as methyl alcohol.
Compounds containing methyl groups are widely used in various industries. Methyl alcohol, for example, is utilized as a raw material for industrial products and as an organic solvent. It is used in the manufacturing of plastics, synthetic fibers, adhesives, paints, agricultural chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
Methyl alcohol, due to its toxicity, was known to cause blindness when ingested as moonshine during wartime. It is a hazardous substance and should be handled with care.
