It is also a dangerously caustic base.. Sodium methoxide is used as an initiator of anionic addition polymerization with ethylene oxide forming a polyether with high molecular weight.. Biodiesel is prepared from vegetable oils and animal fats that is fatty acid triglycerides by transesterification with methanol to give fatty acid methyl esters FAMEs ..
