The adduct of sodium tert-butoxide (t-BuONa) with tetrahydrofuran (THF) was studied by measuring changes of infrared spectra in the range 900-1100 cm-1. Alkoxide autoassociation and solvation of this associate by tetrahydrofuran play a role in adduct formation. In hydrocarbon solvents in the presence of minor amounts of THF, higher t-BuONa associates are dissociated, the preffered form being a tetramer solvated by three THF molecules. At large excess of THF, the tetramer is solvated by four THF molecules. The stability constant of the adduct, referred to one Na-O bond, is 5.01.
