1-Azido-4-aminobutane - Introduction
4-Azido-1-amine (1-Butamine 4-azide) is an organic compound with the molecular formula C4H10N6. It is a colorless to yellow liquid that is flammable at room temperature. The compound has a strong pungent odor.
4-Azidobutan-1-amine is mainly used as a chemical reagent, and is often used in the study of azide reaction and hot/cold explosion in organic synthesis. It can function as a high energy compound in the field of rocket propellants and explosives. In addition, it can also be used to generate azide functional groups in organic synthesis, which can be used as intermediates in drug synthesis and materials science.
The preparation of 4-azidobutan-1-amine generally employs a three-step reaction. First, a cuprous salt is prepared from the reaction of butylamine and cuprous chloride. Then, a cuprous salt is added and reacted with sodium hypochlorite at a low temperature to form sodium azide. Finally, sodium azide reacts with sulfuric acid to form 4-azidobutan-1-amine.
4-Azidobutan-1-amine is a high-energy compound, so it needs to be handled with great care. It may cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. During use, contact with strong oxidants, acids and bases should be avoided to avoid dangerous reactions. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment are also a must. In addition, it should be kept away from ignition sources and ignition equipment, and should be stored away from light and away from heat sources. Laboratory safety procedures must be followed during handling and use.
