Both the solid material and the solution must be protectedfrom light by storage in brown glassware in the dark.7.7 Sodium Biphenyl SolutionTransfer 300 mL of drytoluene and 58 g of metallic sodium to a 20 L, three-neckedflask, equipped with a heating man

17、tle, nitrogen gas inlet,mercury seal stirrer, and reflux condenser. Heat until thetoluene refluxes and the sodium melts completely. Start thestirrer, and stir until the sodium is finely dispersed. Cool to lessthan 10C in a suitable bath (not water). Remove the con-denser, and add 1250 mL of dry ethy
