Sodium ethoxide solution - Reference Information
| EPA chemical substance information | information provided by: ofmpeb.epa.gov (external link) |
| Introduction | sodium ethoxide is also called "sodium ethoxylate". Is one of the typical alkoxide, non-toxic, strong alkaline, chemical formula CH3CH2ONa. Molecular weight 68.05. White or pale yellow powder. Easy to absorb moisture. It is very soluble in polar solvents (such as ethanol), and its ethanol solution is stable. Decomposition by exposure to air. The color gradually darkened. Water decomposition into sodium hydroxide and ethanol. Absolute Absolute ethanol and sodium metal after the reaction of distilled ethanol. Industrial products are often sodium ethoxide ethanol solution (content is generally 17%), by ethanol and sodium hydroxide reaction, while adding benzene azeotropic distillation, so that benzene, ethanol and water to form a ternary azeotrope, after removing the water generated during the reaction, the benzene was distilled off. Sodium ethoxide is an alkaline condensation reagent. It is widely used in various types of organic synthesis reactions. It is also used in the production of pharmaceuticals and pesticides. Sealed and protected from light. |
| reaction | sodium ethoxide rapidly darkened in air due to oxidation. In humid environment, sodium ethoxide is hydrolyzed to form sodium hydroxide and ethanol: C2H5ONa H2O → C2H5OH NaOH Therefore, sodium ethoxide reagent often contains a small amount of sodium hydroxide. |
| Use | sodium ethoxide is highly alkaline, active hydrogen, which is commonly used in organic synthesis to remove organic compounds (e. G., Claisen condensation reaction and malonate synthesis), is also used in the synthesis of pesticides. Sodium ethoxide can be removed from the alpha hydrogen Ester, so that the formation of the enol structure; Can also occur with the carbonyl ester nucleophilic addition reaction (known as transesterification). It is used as a strong basic catalyst, ethoxylating agent and as a coagulant and reducing agent in organic synthesis. The application of sodium ethoxide pharmaceutical products have benbitux, phenylbutazone, epilepsy ketone, methyldopa, tetracaine hydrochloride, easy to cough, methotrexate, pyrimethamine, piofur ampicillin and so on. In addition, it is also used for pesticides and as Analytical reagents. sodium ethoxide is mainly used as a strong basic catalyst, ethoxylation agent and as a reducing agent in organic synthesis, pharmaceutical synthesis and so on. used in organic condensation reactions. |
| preparation | sodium ethoxide can be prepared by reacting sodium with ethanol: 2 C2H5OH 2 Na → 2 C2H5ONa H2 industrially prepared by reacting sodium hydroxide with ethanol under heating reflux in the presence of benzene or cyclohexane: C2H5OH NaOH → C2H5ONa H2O In the above reaction system, ethanol is separated from water due to formation of an azeotrope with benzene or cyclohexane. The sodium ethoxide in the system may also be precipitated using anhydrous acetone. |
| production method | 1. Benzene, ethanol, water three-way azeotropic method of solid sodium hydroxide dissolved in ethanol and pure benzene solution (or cyclohexane and ethanol solution), heating reflux, through the tower reactor continuous reaction dehydration, the total base amount and the free base are brought to the standard. The ternary azeotropic mixture of benzene, ethanol and water was distilled off at the top of the column, and a solution of sodium ethoxide in ethanol was obtained at the bottom of the column. The sodium metal method is derived from the interaction of sodium metal and anhydrous ethanol. |
