Tert.Butyl azidoformate

Tests conducted by the Eastman Kodak Company have shown that tert-butyl azidoformate [Formic acid, azido, -butyl ester], also known as iert-butoxy carbonyl azide and 1-BOC azide, is a thermally unstable, shock-sensitive compound (TNT equivalence 45%). 

In the formation of tert-butyl azidoformate by the addition of phosgene to alcohols followed by the addition of Na nitride or hydrazoic acid in the presence of pyridine, reaction of phosgene with the azide can cause the formation of expl carbazide (Ref 9)... 

Reacts with vapors of sodium with luminescence at about 260°C. Reacts explosively with thionyl chloride or potassium reacts violently with hexafluoro isopropylidene, amino lithium, ammonia, and strong acids reacts with tert-butyl azidoformate to form explosive carbide reacts with 24-hexadiyn-l, 6-diol to form 2, 4-hexadiyn-l, 6-bischloro-formate, a shock-sensitive compound reacts with isopropyl alcohol to form isopropyl chloroformate and hydrogen chloride thermal decomposition may occur in the presents of iron salts and result in explosion.

CAUTION As with all azides of low molecular weight, tert-butyl azidoformate is sensitive to both heat (>80°C) and shockJ l It is usually purified by distillation under reduced pressure and detonation under these conditions has been reported (distillate and distillation residue are prone to explode). All operations involving this reagent should be carried out with great caution in a fume hood and behind a safety shield Hydrogen azide is an ichthyotoxic compound.

CARBONIO (OSSICLORURO di) (Italian) (75-44-5) Poisonous gas. Decomposes slowly with water, producing hydrochloric acid and carbon monoxide. Reacts violently with strong oxidizers, anhydrous ammonia, isopropanol, chemically active metals, silicon tetrahydride, sodium. Forms shock-sensitive material with potassium. Incompatible with tert-butyl-azidoformate, sodium azide. Attacks most metals in moist conditions however, it may not affect monel, tantalum, or glass-lined equipment. Note Sodium hydroxide or anhydrous ammonia has been used to neutralize this gas.
