Liquid azides


Can someone name some stable liquid azides?

Trimethylsilyl azide comes to mind. It can be distilled without fear of explosion. There is a synthesis of it on the org syn website.

There's always the simplest of the azides, hydrogen azide, which is a liquid boiling at 30°C. It's also highly toxic and rather explosive.



Never accept that which can be changed.

I don't know if it's hydrogen azide...I think it's called hydrazoic acid, HN3, not stable even in solution, boils at approx. 35°C at 760mm Hg and it's said to be much poisonous even if not cumultive.
However, never tried it.
It can be synthetized from hydrazine and HNO2.

Yeah right, HN3 sounds like fun!

There is absolutely no way im ever distilling HN3. Or any sensitive liquid explosive.

D:

TMS Azide sound good though.

The pure gas/liquid, or lets just say substance, of HN3 is refered to as Hydrogen Azide. A solution would be hydrazoic acid. Similar naming phenomenon are applied to HCl, HF, HBr, etc.

There are at least a few phenyl azides that are liquids. Unfortunatly, not being at college, I lack my journal access so I can't find out what they are for you.

[edit] Phenyl azide is an oily liquid. That is about the only one I can find much information on, and even that is severely lacking. I need my university academic access back otherwise I may go insane.
