[edit] NaNH2 as a reagent

I made some changes that organic chemists may choose to revise further. NaNH2 has no odor, it's a salt after all. Its use in the lab has almost disappeared with the introduction of stronger, more soluble, or more easily handled bases. I am skeptical of the comment that O2 converts NaNH2 to nitrogen oxides.--Smokefoot 04:37, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
