Sodium azide (NaN₃, CAS 26628-22-8) is an inorganic compound synthesized via the reaction of hydrazine with nitrous oxide. It serves as a critical reagent in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
Highly toxic if ingested or inhaled; strictly regulated in clinical settings due to hemolytic risks. Store in cool, dry areas away from acids to prevent explosive hydrogen azide generation.
