Application

Sodium tert-pentoxide (NaOt-Am) is a commonly used base in the deoxycyanamidation of alcohols and in the N-cyanation of secondary amines. It can also be used in the preparation of complex reducing agents to reduce 1-halonaphthalenes and substituted halobenzenes to corresponding naphthalenes and benzenes.

Alkoxide-bridged disilver cations react with dihydrogen to form hydride-bridged cations, releasing free alcohol. Hydrogenolysis of neutral silver fluorides affords hydride-bridged disilver cations as their bifluoride salts. These reactions proceed most efficiently when the supporting ligands are expanded N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs)
