Key Properties
Sodamide (extra pure, sodium amide) is a highly reactive strong base widely used in organic synthesis, particularly for the deprotonation of terminal alkynes. It is a white to gray crystalline solid that is known for its ability to react violently with water and moisture, releasing flammable ammonia gas. This compound is classified as a strong nucleophile and is essential in various organic reactions, including the Chichibabin amination. With a purity of 95%, it is suitable for demanding applications in research and industrial settings.
Also known as Sodamide, Sodium amide.

- Substance
Sodamide appears as a white to gray crystalline solid. It has a melting point of approximately 150 °C and a boiling point of 300 °C (decomposes). The density of sodamide is about 1.1 g/cm³. It is highly soluble in liquid ammonia but reacts violently with water, making it unsuitable for use in aqueous environments. The compound has a strong alkaline pH when dissolved in suitable solvents, and it is characterized by its strong ammonia odor when it reacts with moisture.
