Most commonly, solutions of sodium phenoxide are produced by treating phenol with sodium hydroxide. Anhydrous derivatives can be prepared by combining phenol and sodium. A related, updated procedure uses sodium methoxide instead of sodium hydroxide: NaOCH3 + HOC6H5 → NaOC6H5 + HOCH.
How do you make sodium phenolate?
Dissolve 70 g of phenol in 15 ml of ethanol, add 20 ml of acetone, and dilute the solution with ethanol to 100 ml. Sodium phenolate solution. Immediately before use, mix 10 ml of the phenol–acetone solution with 10 ml of 30% aqueous NaOH solution, and dilute with water to 50 ml.
What is phenoxide moiety?
phenoxide moiety. it is the carbanion of phenol formed by removal of h atom connected to oxygen. moeity provides compound a characterstic properties to compound.
