What are the expected products for the following reactions?
A) CH3CH2OH + NaH -------->
B) HC triple bond C- Na+ + CH3CH2OH ------NH3--->
the reactions
A) In the following reaction the hydride is nucleophile and in this it act as base which produces a quantative deprotanation, because the product H2 is lost as a gas, which drives the reaction in forward direction.
CH3CH2OH + NaH -----> CH3CH2ONa + H2
B) Acetylide ions undergo reaction forming a new carbon carbon bonds, resulting a longer carbon chain. The mechanism is nucleophilic substitution in which the acetyllide ion replaces the hydroxide ion
