CAS NO:
Sodium hydride is a strong inorganic base used as a reagent in pharmaceutical synthesis, not an excipient. It facilitates deprotonation in drug formulation processes to generate nucleophiles for C-C bond formation. Molecular Formula: NaH. CAS No: 7646-69-7.
Strictly excluded from final drug formulations due to pyrophoric nature. Requires inert atmosphere storage (nitrogen/argon) below 25°C. Personnel must wear full PPE against severe burns and hydrogen gas evolution upon moisture contact.
