ORGANO-SODIUM COMPOUNDS

try a new tack Use sodium dispersions to prepare your organo-sodium compounds. Sodium alkyls, for example, can be prepared quickly hv the reaction of sodium dispersions with (1) a mer­ cury or zinc alkyl (2) an organic halide (3) a Grignard reagent or (I) a mixed ether, such as benzyl ethyl ether. In addition, you can prepare colored compounds

containing conjugated linkages by the addition of: • sodium t o the free trivalent-carbon radical • sodium t o certain unsaturated or aromatic com­ pounds • an alkyl sodium compound to a double bond.
