Does sodium hydroxide react alcohol?
  • 2 answers

King Adithya H M... 5 years, 1 month ago

As you mentioned, NaOH does not react with 95% or 100% ethyl alcohol since NaOH is not efficient (strong enough) base to abstract a proton from ethanol (this proton is not acidic at all, it is almost neutral). ... Sodium ethoxide can be made by reacting sodium metal or sodium hydride with absolute ethanol

Yogita Ingle 5 years, 1 month ago

Ethanol does not react with dilute sodium hydroxide,

The reason is also correct the ethoxide ion is the stronger base than hydroxide ion.
