Carbonyl diazide
Carbonyl diazide is a chemical compound with the chemical formula. In terms of its structure, it can be described as two azide groups covalently attached to the carbonyl group by single bonds. It can be prepared by way of the reaction between triphosgene and tetra-n-butylammonium azide, in a dimethyl ether or diethyl ether solution.
The first synthesis of carbonyl diazide was reported in 1894, although there have been multiple alternative syntheses since then.
Like all azides, it is a explosive compound that readily detonated, therefore care is needed when handling this chemical.
