CAS 20194-18-7: Sodium benzyloxide

Description:Sodium benzyloxide, with the CAS number 20194-18-7, is an organic compound that serves as a strong base and nucleophile in various chemical reactions. It is the sodium salt of benzyloxide, which is derived from benzyl alcohol. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, due to its ionic nature. Sodium benzyloxide is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the formation of carbon-carbon bonds and in the deprotonation of weak acids. Its reactivity is attributed to the presence of the benzyloxide ion, which can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions. Additionally, it is important to handle sodium benzyloxide with care, as it can be hygroscopic and may react with moisture in the air. Proper storage in a dry environment is essential to maintain its stability and effectiveness in chemical applications.
