General description

Sodium carbonate (soda ash) is an inorganic chemical compound. It is used in the synthesis of chemicals, detergent formulations, flue gas desulfurization, and paper and pulp production.

Application

Sodium carbonate can be used:
  • As a catalyst in the aldol condensation of aldehydes with ketones in the synthesis of chalcone and azachalcone.
  • As a pH stabilizer agent in the synthesis of FeO-NPs (iron oxide nanoparticles) in the presence of cymbopogon citratus as a reducing agent.
  • As a base in the Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling reactions.
  • As a base in the transition metal free Suzuki coupling reaction of aryl halides and arylboronic acids to form biaryls using water as a solvent and TBAB (tetrabutylammonium bromide) as a phase-transfer catalyst.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Buffer component, may be used for the removal of peripheral membrane proteins.

At present, the circulating bioactivity of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) is estimated by immunological measurements of IGF-I levels. However, immunoassays ignore the modifying effects of the IGF-binding proteins (IGFBPs) on the interaction between IGF-I and the IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR).

Trousseau described spontaneous, recurrent superficial migratory thrombophlebitis associated with occult cancers, and this was later correlated with disseminated microangiopathy (platelet-rich clots in small blood vessels). Trousseau syndrome often occurs with mucinous adenocarcinomas, which secrete abnormally glycosylated mucins and mucin fragments
