INTRODUCTION
Sodium tert-butoxide is a stronger base (than primary and secondary alcoholates) and a non-nucleophilic base. It is flammable and moisture sensitive. It forms clusters in the solid state, both hexamers and nonamers, It is similar in reactivity to the more common potassium tert-butoxide.
Manufacture
The compound is produced by treating tert-butyl alcohol with sodium hydride.
