There is no such thing as a lone 'methyl'. A methyl group is a CH3 extending off an organic compounds main carbon chain. They can be created by the Sn2 reaction on iodomethane, or by the reaction of methyl lithium or MeMgCl with a carbon atom that is substituted with a leaving group

How does methyl stearate compare to methyl oleate?

Methyl stearate is a saturated fatty acid methyl ester, while methyl oleate is an unsaturated fatty acid methyl ester. Methyl oleate has a higher degree of unsaturation due to a double bond in its carbon chain, making it more flexible and less rigid than methyl stearate. Additionally, methyl oleate may have different physical properties, such as a lower melting point, compared to methyl stearate.
