Example types with alkoxide
The same corpus examples are grouped by length and sentence type, making it easier to see the contexts in which the word appears:
The process uses magnesium titanium alkoxide. (6 words)
The acidity of alcohols is also affected by the overall stability of the alkoxide ion. (15 words)
Under basic conditions, hydroxide acts as a nucleophile, while an alkoxide is the leaving group. (15 words)
The pK a for self-dissociation of ethanol is about 16 so the alkoxide ion is a strong enough base citation The addition of an alcohol to an aldehyde to form a hemiacetal is an example of a reaction that can be catalyzed by the presence of hydroxide. (48 words)
This is seen in, for example, phenol (C 6 H 5 –OH), which is acidic at the hydroxyl (OH), since a charge on this oxygen (alkoxide –O − ) is partially delocalized into the benzene ring. (34 words)
Acetic acid and formic acid are produced by the carbonylation of methanol, conducted with iodide and alkoxide promoters, respectively, and often with high pressures of carbon monoxide, usually involving additional hydrolytic steps. (32 words)

Electron-withdrawing groups attached to the carbon containing the hydroxyl group will serve to stabilize the alkoxide when formed, thus resulting in greater acidity.
The acidity of alcohols is also affected by the overall stability of the alkoxide ion.
The deprotonation reaction to produce an alkoxide salt is performed either with a strong base such as sodium hydride or n-butyllithium or with sodium or potassium metal.
The pK a for self-dissociation of ethanol is about 16 so the alkoxide ion is a strong enough base citation The addition of an alcohol to an aldehyde to form a hemiacetal is an example of a reaction that can be catalyzed by the presence of hydroxide.
The process uses magnesium titanium alkoxide.
This is seen in, for example, phenol (C 6 H 5 –OH), which is acidic at the hydroxyl (OH), since a charge on this oxygen (alkoxide –O − ) is partially delocalized into the benzene ring.
This will result in a scenario whereby the unstable alkoxide ion formed will tend to accept a proton to reform the original alcohol.
Under basic conditions, hydroxide acts as a nucleophile, while an alkoxide is the leaving group.
