 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.

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

Reported in EPA TSCA Inventory. EPA Genetic Toxicology Program. EPA Extremely Hazardous Substances List.

Poison by ingestion, skin contact, intraperitoneal, intravenous, and subcutaneous routes. Human systemic effects by ingestion: general anesthesia, somnolence, and kidney changes. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Human mutation data reported.
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 NO_x and Na₂O. See also AZIDES.
