Answer:

Alcohols can behave as weak acids, undergoing deprotonation. The deprotonation reaction to produce an alkoxide salt is either performed with a strong base such as sodium hydride or n-butyllithium, or with sodium or potassium metal.

E.g. 2 CH3CH2-OH + 2 Na --> 2 CH3-CH2-O-Na + H2

Test for unsaturation
