Lithium methoxide is a compound with formula LiCH3O. It is the lithium salt of methanol. Like other alkali metal alkoxides, lithium methoxide adopts a polymeric structure[1] 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.[2]

Portion of the solid-state structure of LiOCH3.
