Many of its compounds are prepared using the Dutt- Wormall reaction and are very explosive.
This ion combined with an acyl group is used to create an isocyanate in the Curtius rearrangement, and this ion combined with hydrogen can be used to change a carboxylic acid into an amine in the Schmidt reaction. A molecule with this ion can be reduced to an amine using the Staudinger reaction, and this ion combines with an alkyne in Huisgen cycloaddition. This ion is combined with sodium using the Wislicenus process, and the resulting molecule was once used in airbags. Many of its compounds are prepared using the Dutt- Wormall reaction and are very explosive. Name this anion consisting of three nitrogen atoms.
