28. Sodium azide is a common preservative of samples and stock solutions in laboratories and a useful reagent in synthetic work. It is not explosive except when heated near its decomposition temperature (300 °C) or reacted with metals; heating sodium azide should be avoided. Due to the everpresent potential for explosions when working with azides, we do not recommend use of this method for large-scale conversions. For a review of organic azide
