One of the very promising and fast growing branches of green chemistry is the application of supercritical fluids for important chemical processes. Due to the unique properties of supercritical methanol, it has attracted much attention and has been widely used in the green chemical processes. In this paper, after the introduction of the properties of supercritical methanol, recent advances in chemical reactions, such as using supercritical methanol as both of reaction media and reactant for organic synthesis, biodiesel production, biomass transformation and polymer decomposition, are reviewed. Details about these chemical reaction conditions and related results are presented. Finally, the outlook of supercritical methanol in the chemical synthesis based on methanol is also proposed.
