Phenylsodium is an organosodium compound. Solid phenylsodium was first isolated by Nef in 1903. Although the behavior of phenylsodium and phenyl magnesium bromide are similar, the organosodium compound is very rarely used.
==Synthesis== The existence of phenylsodium was originally proposed by August Kekulé after observing the formation of sodium benzoate in the reaction of bromobenzene with sodium under carbon dioxide. ===Transmetalation=== In the original synthesis, diphenylmercury and sodium was shown to yield a suspension of phenylsodium:
