It is one of the prototypical organic azides. More so than other azides, is explosive. Like most azides, it is explosive. Methyl azide is a covalent molecule related to hydrazoic acid and other alkyl azides. Acids should be separated from alkalis, metals, cyanides, sulfides, azides, phosphides, and oxidizers. On Curtius rearrangement acyl azides yield isocyanates. This is a method of destroying residual azides, prior to disposal. AgN, like most heavy metal azides, is a dangerous primary explosive. Low molecular weight azides are considered especially hazardous and are avoided. However, the azides and alkynes are both kinetically stable. Aryl azides and nitroaromatics can also be generated using phenylboronic acid. Photolysis or thermolysis of azides are good ways to generate nitrenes. Many inorganic covalent azides (e.g., chlorine, bromine, and iodine azides) have been described. The current production method includes two reaction steps with potentially hazardous azides. Organic azides engage in useful organic reactions.
