The structure of a typical methoxy group.

In chemistry (particularly organic chemistry), methoxy refers to the functional group consisting of a methyl group bound to oxygen. Chemistry (from Egyptian kēme (chem meaning "earth") is the Science concerned with the composition structure and properties Organic chemistry is a discipline within Chemistry which involves the scientific study of the structure properties composition reactions, and preparation In Organic chemistry, functional groups are specific groups of Atoms within Molecules that are responsible for the characteristic Chemical reactions In Chemistry, a methyl group is a Hydrophobic Alkyl Functional group named after Methane (4 Oxygen (from the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys (acid literally "sharp" from the taste of acids and -γενής (-genēs (producer literally begetteris the It has the formula:

–O–CH₃

The word is used in organic nomenclature usually to describe an ether. Oxygen (from the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys (acid literally "sharp" from the taste of acids and -γενής (-genēs (producer literally begetteris the Carbon (kɑɹbən is a Chemical element with the symbol C and its Atomic number is 6 Hydrogen (ˈhaɪdrədʒən is the Chemical element with Atomic number 1 The IUPAC nomenclature of organic chemistry is a systematic method of naming organic chemical compounds as recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Ether is a class of Organic compounds which contain an ether group — an Oxygen Atom connected to two (substituted Alkyl It is also an electron-donating group and can cause an organic compound to become less acidic.

Examples of methoxy ethers are methoxyethane and methoxypropane. Methoxyethane, also known as methyl ethyl ether, is a colorless gaseous Ether with a medicine-like odor Methoxypropane, or methyl propyl ether, is an Ether once used as a General anaesthetic.
