Sodium hydride is the chemical compound with the empirical formula Na H.This alkali metal hydride is primarily used as a strong yet combustible base in organic synthesis.NaH is a saline (salt-like) hydride, composed of Na + and H − ions, in contrast to molecular hydrides such as borane, silane, germane, ammonia, and methane.
Sodium amide, commonly called sodamide (systematic name sodium azanide), is the inorganic compound with the formula NaNH 2.It is a salt composed of the sodium cation and the azanide anion.
Alcohol oxidation is a collection of oxidation reactions in organic chemistry that convert alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and esters.The reaction mainly applies to primary and secondary alcohols.
The Birch reduction is an organic reaction that is used to convert arenes to 1,4-cyclohexadienes.The reaction is named after the Australian chemist Arthur Birch and involves the organic reduction of aromatic rings in an amine solvent (traditionally liquid ammonia) with an alkali metal (traditionally sodium) and a proton source (traditionally an alcohol).
Sodium nitrite is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Na N O 2.It is a white to slightly yellowish crystalline powder that is very soluble in water and is hygroscopic.
The alkyne zipper reaction is an organic reaction that involves isomerization of a non terminal alkyne into a terminal alkyne. This reaction was first reported by Alexey Favorsky in 1887 (J. Russ. Phys.-Chem. Soc., 19, 414 (1887)).
The Chichibabin reaction (pronounced ' (chē')-chē-bā-bēn) is a method for producing 2-aminopyridine derivatives by the reaction of pyridine with sodium amide.It was reported by Aleksei Chichibabin in 1914. [1]
Elimination reaction of cyclohexanol to cyclohexene with sulfuric acid and heat [1]. An elimination reaction is a type of organic reaction in which two substituents are removed from a molecule in either a one- or two-step mechanism. [2]
