Hazard Predictions

- Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
- Toxic: Reaction products may be toxic
Azides may liberate inert N2 gas when exposed to hydrogen, particularly in the presence of a catalyst (Smith, P. A. S., Open-Chain Nitrogen Compounds, Vol. I. New York: W. A. Benjamin, Inc., 1965, pp. 33).
Azo compounds may release toxic HN3 gas in the presence of reducing agents (Predicted).
Aryl azides are reduced to hydrocarbons and N2 gas by reducing agents (Rodd, E. H, ed. The Chemistry of Carbon Compounds. New York: Elsevier Publishing Company, 1954. Vol. III pp. 287).
