Sodium isopropoxide

Description:

Sodium isopropoxide is an organic compound with the formula C3H7NaO, classified as an alkoxide. It appears as a white to off-white solid and is highly soluble in polar solvents such as alcohols and ethers. This compound is typically produced through the reaction of sodium metal with isopropanol, resulting in the formation of sodium isopropoxide and hydrogen gas. Sodium isopropoxide serves as a strong base and nucleophile, making it valuable in various organic synthesis reactions, including deprotonation and as a catalyst in transesterification processes. It is also used in the preparation of other chemical compounds and in the production of biodiesel. However, it is important to handle sodium isopropoxide with care, as it can react vigorously with water, releasing flammable hydrogen gas and potentially causing hazardous situations. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area, are essential when working with this substance.

Sodium isopropoxide

CAS: 683-60-3

Sodium isopropoxide is a glycol ether that is used as an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the production of prostaglandin, which plays a role in inflammation. Sodium isopropoxide also has metal hydroxide and coordination geometry properties. In addition, it can be synthesized using an asymmetric synthesis reaction to produce an optically active compound. The hydroxyl group on the molecule binds to the acetyl group in acetyl salicylic acid, forming the sodium salt of aspirin. Aspirin is commonly used as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory drug for pain relief and to reduce fever. Aspirin also reduces eye disorders such as conjunctivitis and iritis by blocking prostaglandins from binding to receptors on the surface of cells in the eye.
