Product Description

What Is Sodium Amide?


Sodium amide (NaNH₂), is highly reactive, especially with water, producing ammonia and heat. Due to its strong basicity and nucleophilicity, sodium amide plays a critical role in deprotonation reactions and the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds.





Key Features


  • Strong base with high reactivity

  • Suitable for deprotonation and condensation reactions

  • Industrial and laboratory grade available

  • Stable under dry, inert storage conditions

  • Custom packaging options available




Technical Specifications


Parameter Specification
Purity ≥ 95% (typical industrial grade)
Appearance White to off-white solid
Moisture ≤ 0.5%
Solubility Reacts with water; soluble in liquid ammonia
Storage Store in dry, airtight container under inert atmosphere




Applications of Sodium Amide


1. Organic Synthesis

  • Preparation of alkynes via dehydrohalogenation

  • Formation of sodium acetylides

  • Deprotonation of weak acids


2. Pharmaceutical Intermediates

  • Synthesis of heterocyclic compounds

  • Key base in active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production


3. Agrochemical Production

  • Intermediate for crop protection chemicals


4. Specialty Chemical Manufacturing

  • Used in dyes, pigments, and advanced materials synthesis




Packaging Options


We provide flexible packaging based on customer requirements:


  • 25 kg steel drums

  • 50 kg drums

  • Custom small packaging available

  • Bulk packaging upon request


All products are packed in moisture-proof, sealed containers to prevent water contact during transportation and storage.




Handling & Storage


Danger: Water Reactive & Corrosive

  • Keep away from moisture and air exposure

  • Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area

  • Use protective gloves and eye protection during handling

  • Avoid contact with acids and oxidizing agents

Proper hazardous material shipping documentation is provided.




Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)


Q1: What is sodium amide mainly used for?

Sodium amide is primarily used as a strong base in organic synthesis, especially for deprotonation reactions and the formation of carbon–carbon bonds.


Q2: Is sodium amide soluble in water?

No. Sodium amide reacts violently with water, producing ammonia gas and heat.


Q3: What purity grades are available?

Standard industrial grade is ≥95%. Higher purity grades can be supplied depending on application requirements.


Q4: How should sodium amide be transported?

It must be transported as a Class 4.3 dangerous goods material (water-reactive). Proper hazardous packaging and labeling are required.


Q5: What is the typical lead time?

Normally 7–15 working days depending on quantity and packaging specifications.


Q6: Can you provide COA and SDS?

Yes. Certificate of Analysis (COA) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) are available for each batch.
