So simply like methanal, wood alcohol.
Just to further complicate things, a point of clarification between the to methan__ compounds (Yes, they're different!).
Methanal - CH2O
- Also known as 'Formaldehyde' (Old name)
- Preservative
Methanol - CH3OH
- Also known as 'Wood alcohol'
- Very poisonous
Love that IUPAC!
Cheers!
