Monosodium acetylide

Monosodium acetylide is an organosodium compound with the formula NaC2H. It is a derived from acetylene by deprotonation using a sodium base, typically sodium amide.[2] This compound, a white solid, has been characterized by neutron diffraction, which revealed an Na-C bond and an elongated C≡C bond of 1.27 Å, which is longer than the C≡C bond length in acetylene itself (1.204 Å).[3] As a reagent, monosodium acetylide has been largely displaced by monolithium acetylide, which can be prepared more easily.[4]
