i was wondering if NaH is able to deprotonate an alcohol. I've included the compound that contains the alcohol i want to deprotonate. (I want to deprotonate it so that I can add an alkyl halide to make an ether) thanks in advance

NaH will definitely deprotonate alcohols. I do it all the time when I protect as a benzyl group using NaH and BnBr.
I use NaH in THF.

so since there is a benzene with a substituent should I use Na-H in THF as you suggest, to protect the ring?
