General description
Sodium bicarbonate is commonly known as baking soda. It serves as a source of carbon dioxide and is used to prepare a variety of sodium salts. It is also an important pH-regulating agent.
Application
Sodium bicarbonate can be used as a catalyst:
- To synthesize nitriles from the corresponding aldehydes and hydroxylamine hydrochloride in the presence of sodium sulfate as a co-catalyst.
- To prepare coumarin derivatives via intramolecular Wittig reaction of substituted 2-formylphenyl 2-bromoacetates.
- In the acetylation of primary alcohols and phenols by reacting with acetic anhydride.

Blood flow through intrapulmonary arteriovenous anastomoses (IPAVA) is increased by acute hypoxia during rest by unknown mechanisms. Oral administration of acetazolamide blunts the pulmonary vascular pressure response to acute hypoxia, thus permitting the observation of IPAVA blood flow with minimal
