In synthetic organic chemistry, sodium hydride (NaH) has been utilized almost exclusively as a routine Brønsted base, while NaH has not been considered to work as a hydride donor. Recently, our group has serendipitously found that NaH can function as a unique hydride donor by its solvothermal treatm...
