Earlier pub€ icati~ ns'~ show that addition of so-dium to liquid ammonia solutions containing an organic compound together with a substance containing active hydrogen (eg, ammonium salts, methanol or water) sometimes leads to reduction products that differ from those obtained upon addition of sodium to liquid ammonia solu-tions containing only the organic compound. Some additional examples are presented in the present paper.
