Organosodium
Organosodium compounds are chemical compounds that contain a carbon-sodium bond. These compounds are a class of organometallic compounds, which are characterized by a metal-carbon bond. Organosodium compounds are generally highly reactive and are often prepared in situ for immediate use in synthesis.
The carbon-sodium bond is highly polar due to the significant electronegativity difference between sodium and carbon.
Due to their high reactivity, organosodium compounds are not typically isolated or stored in bulk. They are
While less common in academic laboratories compared to their organolithium or organomagnesium (Grignard) counterparts, organosodium compounds
