Lithium methoxide is a compound with formula LiCH₃O. It is the lithium salt of methanol. Unlike the lithium alkoxides derived from the heavier alcohols, lithium methoxide is largely ionic in its bonding. Its solubility in common polar aprotic solvents like THF is low; however, it is soluble in methanol and is available commercially as a 10% solution.
