Product name:Sodium Hydride
CAS:7646-69-7
Molecular Formula:NaH
Molecular Weight:23.99g/mol
Description:Sodium hydride is the chemical compound with the empirical formula NaH. It is primarily used as a strong base in organic synthesis. NaH is representative of the saline hydrides, meaning it is a salt-like hydride, composed of Na+ and H? ions, in contrast to the more molecular hydrides such as borane, methane, ammonia and water. It is an ionic material that is insoluble in organic solvents (although soluble in molten Na), consistent with the fact that H? remains an unknown anion in solution.
