Sodium propoxide

Description:
Sodium propoxide is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H7NaO. It is classified as an alkoxide, specifically the sodium salt of propanol. This substance typically appears as a white to off-white solid or powder and is highly soluble in polar solvents such as ethanol and methanol, but less so in non-polar solvents. Sodium propoxide is known for its strong basicity and is often used as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various organic compounds through deprotonation reactions. It can also serve as a catalyst in certain reactions, including transesterification and the synthesis of ethers. Due to its reactivity, sodium propoxide should be handled with care, as it can react vigorously with water, releasing propanol and generating heat. Proper storage in a dry, inert atmosphere is essential to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Overall, sodium propoxide is a valuable compound in the field of organic chemistry, facilitating various synthetic pathways.
