4-Azidobutyric acid - A1941 - Production Method
Open Data Unverified Data
1. Preparation of materials:
-Sodium cyanide (NaCN)
-Nitrile (CH3 (CH2) 2CN)
-Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
-Ammonia water (NH3 · H2O)
-Sodium carbonate (Na2CO3)
-Sodium nitrite (NaNO2)
-Nitric acid (HNO3)
2. Preparation process of azide compounds:
a. Dissolve sodium cyanide in nitrile, add a small amount of sulfuric acid as a catalyst, and undergo cyanide reaction to generate cyanide of nitrile (CH3 (CH2) 2CN2-Na+).
b. Heat and reflux the cyanide solution to react with ammonia water to produce azide acid (CH3 (CH2) 2CN3H) of nitrile.
c. Add the azide acid solution into the sodium nitrite solution in stages to undergo coupling reaction, generating 4-azide butyric acid.
d. Neutralize the salt in the solution with hydrochloric acid or nitric acid, and crystallize and dry the reaction product to obtain pure product.
Attention should be paid to safety during the preparation process. Chemicals such as nitrile and cyanide have certain toxicity. Protective gloves and goggles should be worn during operation, and it should be carried out under well ventilated laboratory conditions. Meanwhile, due to the high explosive sensitivity of azide compounds, careful handling is required during production and storage to avoid conditions that may cause explosions such as impact, friction, and high temperatures.
