Sodium ethoxide

Sodium ethoxide is a chemical compound. It has the chemical formula C2H5ONa, sometimes shortened to NaOEt. It is the alkoxide of sodium and ethanol. It is used as a source of the ethoxide anion, C2H5O−, a strong base that is used to make many different chemicals.

Preparation

Sodium ethoxide is made in a chemical reaction between sodium metal and anhydrous (water-free) ethanol.[1]

Uses

Sodium ethoxide's chemistry is similar to other alkoxides. It is used in many different types of reaction in organic synthesis, normally as either a base or nucleophile.[2] Sodium ethoxide and sodium methoxide are some of the most commonly used alkoxides.[3]
