Key Properties
Sodium hydride suspension is a strong, non-nucleophilic base widely utilized in organic synthesis, particularly for deprotonation reactions. This product is a suspension of sodium hydride moistened with 60% paraffin oil, which enhances its handling properties and stability. Sodium hydride (NaH) is known for its high reactivity, especially with water, where it releases hydrogen gas. Due to its strong basicity, it is essential in various chemical reactions, making it a valuable reagent in laboratories and industrial applications.
Also known as Sodium hydride, NaH.

- Product Form
- Mixture
The product appears as a gray suspension in mineral oil, indicating its composition and the presence of sodium hydride. It has a density of approximately 0.9 g/cm³, which is typical for such suspensions. Sodium hydride has a melting point of 800 °C and a boiling point of 1,200 °C, although these values pertain to the solid form rather than the suspension. The suspension is insoluble in water and reacts violently with moisture, producing flammable hydrogen gas. The flash point of the paraffin oil component is around 160 °C, which is relevant for safety considerations during handling.

Sodium hydride suspension is primarily used as a strong base for deprotonating various organic compounds, including alcohols, amides, and active-methylene compounds. It is widely employed in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and in the production of fine chemicals. Additionally, it serves as a reagent in polymer chemistry and materials science for the development of new materials. Its ability to generate hydrogen gas upon reaction with moisture also makes it useful in certain hydrogenation reactions and as a reducing agent in organic synthesis.
