Sodium azide Uses

 Sodium azide (CAS NO.26628-22-8) is a useful probe reagent, mutagen, and preservative. It is used in organic synthesis to introduce the azide functional group by displacement of a primary halide.Also it is used for the preparation of other azide compounds.And it can beused in automobile airbags and airplane escape chutes, Organic synthesis and Inorganic synthesis.It has a use in biochemistry and biomedical.

Sodium azide Production

The common synthesis method is the "Wislicenus process," which proceeds in two steps from ammonia. 
          2 Na + 2 NH3 → 2 NaNH2 + H2
The Sodium azide (CAS NO.26628-22-8) is subsequently combined with nitrous oxide:
          2 NaNH2 + N2O → NaN3 + NaOH + NH3

Violent reaction with benzoyl chloride combined with KOH, Br2, barium carbonate, CS2, Cr(OCl)2, Cu, Pb, HNO3, BaCO3, H2SO4, hot water, (CH3)2SO4, dibromomalononitrile, sulfuric acid. Incompatible with acids, ammonium chloride + trichloroacetonitrile, phosgene, cyanuric chloride, 2,5-dinitro-3-methylbenzoic acid + oleum, trifluroroacryloyl chloride. Reacts with heavy metals (e.g., brass, copper, lead) to form dangerously explosive heavy metal azides, a particular problem in laboratory equipment and drain traps. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx and Na2O. See also AZIDES
