He matū ki te tātai CH3OH (he rōpū methyl hono ki te rōpū hydroxyl, maha poto MeOH). Methanol riro te ingoa waipiro rakau no te mea i kotahi i huaina te reira te nuinga e te distillation whakangaro o te rakau. I teie mahana, methanol te nuinga hua ahumahi e hydrogenation o te waro waikura. Methanol ko te waipiro māmā, e ngā o te rōpū methyl hono ki te rōpū hydroxyl. Ko te marama, rere, kahore tae, mura wai ki te kakara motuhake rite ki taua o te etanol (waipiro inu). Heoi, ko te methanol he tawhiti atu kawa i te etanol. I te pāmahana ruma, ko te reira i te wai polar. Ki te neke atu i te 20 miriona taranata whakaputaina ia tau, whakamahia te reira rite te precursor ki ētahi atu matū commodity, tae atu ki te waikawa acyldehyde, tert-methyl, ano hoki te mea e huaina ana he momo matū motuhake o te etanol.
