From hydrazine hydrate to sodium azide


As far as I know, there are convenient synthesis of KN3/NaN3 with KOH, various organic nitrites, solvent and probably acid. Can someone point to a method witch would give stable results?
Here's a video of burn tests of the both, at least you know how they behave if have a product, but you're not sure:

Yes,what you are looking for is the Stollé reaction (1920):


CH3CH2OH+NaOH→ CH3CH2ONa+H2O (continuous flow)

NH2-NH2+R-O-NO +CH3CH2ONa → NaN3 + R-OH+ CH3CH2OH+H2O

Reflux 0,4 M hydrazine sulfate and 77 g NaOH and 156 ml 96% etOH 2 hours. Filtrate the cake out, and the clear solution cold 'til 2 degree C and add fresh preparated cold (0 degree C) 47,5 g izopropyl nitrile. (Or the same molar ethyl nitrile) Put this solution in fridge (or in ice bath) let24 hour staying, but usually shaking. Next day filtrate out the NaN3 and wash with IPA or etOH, dry max.100 degree Celsius
