Reaction with excess alkoxide results in attack at C-1′ being observed, as well.

Acid is needed to protonate the resulting alkoxide during work up.

In contrast, displacement of poor leaving groups, such as alkoxide, retention is favored.

The negative charge in these structures is stored as an alkoxide anion.

These films form via a hydrolysis of the alkoxide at a surface interface.

Often a large amount of aluminium alkoxide is needed when using commercial reagent, and there are several known side reactions.

The alkoxide ions fragment by 1,2-elimination of H2 and/or an alkane.

Alkoxide precursors of single or mixed metal-oxides are prepared this way.

Several modified aluminium alkoxide catalysts have been also reported.

The general problem is that the addition generates an alkoxide, which is much more basic than the starting materials.

The activation parameters for the two reactions with the free alkoxide ions are also reported.

The ether then decomposes into an alkene and an alkoxide.

Typically water is added in excess to a solution of the alkoxide in an alcohol.

Under basic conditions, hydroxide acts as a nucleophile, while an alkoxide is the leaving group.

One way to make a metal alkoxide precursor is through a simple "one-pot" synthesis.

On the other hand, the presence of electron-donating group will result in a less stable alkoxide ion formed.

Deprotonation of the alcohol, forming chloroform, yields an alkoxide 5.

The formation of the oxyphosphonium intermediate 8 is slow and facilitated by the alkoxide.

Isopropanol reacts very slowly, generating the corresponding alkoxide and hydrogen.

After the complete reduction, the alkoxide is protonated to give the alcohol product:

In the final step of the reaction, the acid and alkoxide ions formed exchange a proton.

Highly reducing metals react directly with alcohols to give the corresponding metal alkoxide.

The alkoxide is regenerated in the subsequent methanolysis and, therefore, acts as a catalyst.

With the addition of iodomethane, the alkoxide is transformed into a methyl xanthate.

Subsequently, the alkoxide ion acquires a proton from the solvent.
