Abstract
This short review describes the recent emergence of organosodium chemistry, motivated by the requirements of modern synthetic chemistry for sustainability, and powered by the use of sodium dispersion, a form of sodium that is commercially available, easy to handle, and has a large active surface area. We present recent preparation methods of oraganosodium compounds using sodium dispersion, and their applications to synthesis; sodium amides and phosphides are also briefly discussed.
