Chemical compound

Monosodium acetylide is an organosodium compound with the formula NaC≡CH. It is a sodium salt of acetylene, consisting of sodium cations Na and hydrogen acetylide anions C≡CH. It is a derived from acetylene by deprotonation using a sodium base, typically sodium amide.

HC≡CH + NaNH2 → NaC≡CH + NH3

This compound, a white solid, has been characterized by neutron diffraction, which revealed an Na-C bond and a C≡C bond of 127 pm, which is longer than the C≡C bond length in acetylene itself (120.4 pm). As a reagent, monosodium acetylide has been largely displaced by monolithium acetylide, which can be prepared more easily.

Monosodium acetylide hydrolizes in contact with water, producing sodium hydroxide and acetylene.

NaC≡CH + H2O → HC≡CH + NaOH

Monosodium acetylide is used in the Nef synthesis.
