Does anyone have some hydrazine salt/hydrazine to trade for something here? I simply don't have easy access to NaOH or ammonia, I got one to urea and
hypochlorite, and the synth is not fun anyway.
Gallium
Hexachloroethane
cobalt oxide
sodium cyanide
lead metal
lead acetate
Lead IV oxide
Anhydrous aluminium chloride
Silicon tetrachloride
Anhydrous iron III chloride
nickel metal
silver nitrate
If yes I can be contacted by email at hclo3@hotmail.com or by U2Us.
Thanks!
I never asked for this.

Are you sure you cannot get ammonia or NaOH anywhere? This is very strange given the fact that eBay and other places sell these things so readily...
What kind of hardware stores do you have where you live? I'm not sure if hydrazine would be able to be sent through regular mail either ... :S

Yes they do ship, but I would need like 5Kg to have a good ratio for the shipping, and my local hardware store don't carry NaOH (they carry CuSO4
tough). I will keep a 500g bottle of it for when I really need it.
Well, I guess it can be neutralised...

While rummaging through some old Berichte der Deutsch Chem. Gesellschaft on line I came across this interesting little paper. Its in German so I have
a done a quick translation of it. It basically concerns the preparation of hydrous hydrazine from hydrazine hydrate using calcium oxide. The paper
also has references to a couple of other methods which I'll dig out if anyone is interested though they may already have been posted before.

I would add a few comments to this translation.
1-I would flush the equipment with an inert gas, in this case natural gas (methane) is probably the most convenient for most people.
2-Run the thermal decomposition under reduced pressure to reduce decomposition. (water pump pressure)
3-The quantity of calcium oxide seems excessive unless the hydrate is fairly dilute. With >85% hydrate 350g of good commercial 95% CaO should be
sufficient.

I have lots of Urea, and not much Ammonia. Do you think it would be easier for me to do the Hoffmann rearrangement instead of Nurdrage's method? PS. I
have all of the chemicals and equipment needed for both methods. Also, I will use UC235's method if I go with the Hoffmann rearrangement.

I found a US patent claiming a 86.74% yield with proportions of H2O2:MEK:NH3 of 1:2:3.43, with a "working solution" comprised of three parts acetamide, 1.8
parts ammonium acetate, 0.033 g Na2HPO4, and 1.77 g EDTA, disodium salt (1 part representing 0.35 moles in the example given). It may be significant
that the ammonia was gaseous, and H2O2 was 69.27%, although it says that aqueous ammonia and 30% H2O2 are acceptable. Ullmann's says that some sort of
catalyst is required, though, or else the reaction will be too slow. |
I recently read a patent (see http://www.google.com/patents/WO2003068369A1?cl=en ) that used singlet oxygen (formed from exposing O2 to an electrically formed corona, and for
more details on singlet oxygen, please see my recent thread at http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=31729#... ) as a means to process polluting exhaust gases. Apparently, SO2 in water vapor is
converted to H2SO4, which is then scrubbed with Ca(OH)2 to CaSO4. HCN is broken down into less toxic gases, H2S and water to H2SO4 as well, but
interestingly, no mention of the action of singlet oxygen on ammonia. I suspect, in the presence of excess NH3, a possible reaction product with
singlet oxygen to be:
4 NH3 + O2* --?--) 2 N2H4 + 2 H2O
which would not be desirable for an invention that reputedly controls toxic emmissions, but in line with the Peroxide process cited above by
Vargouille.
Note, water is to be avoided (so no aqueous ammonia) as it is a quenching agent for singlet oxygen (forming H2O2, and with water vapor, more likely,
very concentrated H2O2, paralleling the preparation cited above). Also interestingly, the Peroxide Process mentions the employment of Ammonium
acetate, which per my research, is cited as a H+ absorbent allowing the formation of singlet oxygen with non-basic H2O2. As such, when I attempt the
above reaction, I will perform a run with ammonium acetate as well.
--------------------------------------------
For those looking to a simple, but still speculative, small scale synthesis of N2H4, here is possibly something of note. First, it is known that the
photolysis of solid (cold) ammonia proceeds (see for example a recent article in "THE JOURNAL OF CHEMICAL PHYSICS ", 133,214506(2010), "Photolysis of
solid NH3 and NH3–H2O mixtures at 193nm", by M.J.Loeffler and R.A. Baragiol, link: http://gsfcir.gsfc.nasa.gov/authors/publication/17876/ ), with the formation of radical (X) species:
NH3 + uv ----) NH2(X) + H (X)
NH2(X) + NH2(X) ---) N2H4
which is not practical for the most part (frozen NH3). However, one can absorb NH3 on MgCl2 forming MgCl2(NH3)6. Place the latter in a transparent
sealed tube, permitting uv treatment, and a little heat to expell the now highly pressurized ammonia while applying uv light. In essence, simulating
the action of uv light on condensed ammonia.
Also, there is another possible path to N2H4 with ammonia in the presence of water vapor that has been fragmented by uv radiation (see, for example,
"Ammonia Photolysis and the Greenhouse Effect in the Primordial Atmosphere of the Earth", by W. R. KUHN AND S. K. ATREYA, link: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&... ):
NH3 + OH(X) ---) NH2(X) + H2O
NH2(X) + NH2(X) ---) N2H4
Note, per this article, "Effect of Nonequilibrium Excitation on the Ignition of Combustible Mixtures", by N.A. Popov
at Skobel’tsyn Institute of Nuclear Physics, Moscow State University, link: http://www.researchgate.net/publication/257390643_Effect_of_... to quote from page 4:
"Indeed, NH2 radicals formed as a result of UV photolysis of ammonia hardly react with O2 and H2 molecules. However, a fairly fast reaction of NH2
with O(3P) atoms may occur, which causes the emergence of additional channels of production of hydrogen radicals H and OH, as well as nitrogen oxides
[26],
NH2 + O → NH + OH; NH2 + O → HNO + H;
NH + O2 → NO + OH; NH + O2 → NO2 + H. "
where the author notes on page 2, with respect to the creation of O(3P), to quote:
"The absorption of radiation by oxygen molecules in the Schumann-Runge continuum region is accompanied by O2 dissociation and excited O(1D) atoms
production [22],
O2(X3Σ−g) + h ω → O(3P) + O(1D) "
As such, it is probably best to remove all O2 by flooding with NH3.
I do expect some interesting experiments.

Is it possible to make Sodium/Lead Azide with Hydrazine sulfate? I don't want to work with hydrazine hydrate and would largely prefer to work with the
sulfate salt.

So I have a free-basing question.
I'm trying to make NHN (well the cobalt analogue) so I can't freebase the hydrazine from the sulfate with sodium hydroxide, as despite my best efforts
some sodium hydroxide ends up in the solution, dropping Cobalt Hydroxide instead of the wanted CoHN complex.
I've seen vague murmurs of using calcium hydroxide to freebase in the 'Exotic Primaries' thread but how does this work? Calcium sulfate has a lower
solubility in both alcohol and water, so how does that precipitation reaction work (assuming it's driven by drop in solubility of the products?)
CaOH + N2H4.SO4 --> N2H4.OH + CaSO4 ??
If not, how do I freebase without precipitating metal hydroxides later on in hydrazine complex salt synths?
Thanks
Edit: Or does this proceed more as an acid/base reaction, in which case the solubilities don't matter?

How can I test for Hydrazine Hydrate in solution, without Silver Nitrate? I just distilled some stuff at just over a hundred degrees and it has a
particular smell. Wanna see if its the stuff, because the Hydrazine Sulfate I started with was collected after a messy explosion...

COPPER IS EVIL! Cu2+
Just for your info:
I redid this experiment --- the Nurdrage method : mix 2-butanone and ammonia solution. Then drip NaClO slowly.
The glassware in which I had my NaClO was contaminated by a copper compound.
My yield was 0%.
Definitely, the presents of Cu2+ messes it up.
------------------------
From
http://www.lookchem.com/Chempedia/Chemical-Technology/Inorga...
2 NH2Cl + N2H4 → N2 + 2 NH4Cl
This reaction is particularly catalyzed by copper. A large excess of ammonia and the addition of complexing agents such as ethylenediaminetetra-acetic
acid (EDTA) are used as countermeasures.

Please tell me if I am mistaken, but I thought reacting NaOCl and NH3 would produce chloramine, a pungent white/greenish gas,( is that the purpose
adding of glue/gelatin/EDTA so ammonia re-reacts with chloramines)?. The description appears to describe the properties of this gas or other
by-products. What is the best agent to use to increase surface tension(could the reaction be taken out in a sealed container). Is an excess of ammonia
is required to produce hydrazine ?
Thank you.

I have used the chloramine process and the Hofmann degradation process to produce hydrazine. This is then converted to the hydrazine sulfate (HS) for
convenient storage as a crystalline solid.
I prefer the Hofmann degradation process. I provided a procedure for same in the Prepublication section of this forum. The gelatine (or EDTA) is
used to complex heavy metals such as Cu++ as they catalyze decomposition of hydrazine.
I just finished making 3 batches of HS. The first two gave 56% yield and the last, 48%. The yield is very sensitive to temperature control thoughout
the multi-step procedure.
Len1 (Leonid Lerner) gives a thorough description of the Hofmann degradation process in his book. He claims to get a 62% yield but his batch is
about 2X that of mine (38g). Rosco claims about 60% making a large batch, IIRC.
I have a good fume hood so don't get exposed to the hydrazine fumes. Occaisionally I will accidently get a small whiff before turning on the fan. It
has an unpleasant, but not strong, amine (rotten fish) smell.
Hope this helps.

If you are talking about increasing the surface tension to reduce the prodigous foaming of the reaction, silicon oil has been suggested in the past as
an agent to reduce foaming. I have no idea if that is effective, but in either case you are probably just better off attaching an enormous funnel to
the top of your reaction flask to contain the excess foam.
With regards to conducting the reaction in a sealed container, the answer is basically no. The gas produced is nitrogen formed from the decomposition
of hydrazine, and would rapidly build up pressure and rupture all but the strongest of vessels.

Using the Hofmann degradation process at the 36g batch size I have no foaming problem. I use a 1L suction flask and the foam came up to the following
marks for the last 3 batches: 900ml, 900ml, and 1000ml. Therefore, the funnel I had in place was not even needed.
I use gelatine, which is easy and cheap to get at the grocery store. I understand that the viscosity it builds helps reduce the amount of foam
produced as well as sequestering the heavy metals.

Methyl Isobutyl Ketone
I've tried making Hydrazine Sulfate using Methyl Isobutyl Ketone with freshly prepared concentrated ammonia solution made with ammonium bicarbonate
and gelatin, i either used 6% hypochlorite solution or 6% hydrogen peroxide solution (in different experiements) but i couldn't get a sufficient
amount to crystalize.
Does anyone know how i can improve the yield?
I've even tried heating it up to 85C for about an hour refluxing but i still barely get any crystals to come out of the solution even when i put it
for hours in the freezer

Hi,
I tried Hofmann degradation with MEK, but I think I screwed up, I added the MEK too early and left it overnight. It separated, I added H2SO4 to the
organic layer and distilled off the MEK azeotrope (it came through at 72-75*C). BUT the aqueous layer got dark red/brown, and the organic layer got
that color when I started distilling. Of course no HS precipitated. Now for the most important question- how can I safely neutralize it and dispose
it? I think there have been some aldol condensation, and I hope there wasn't any halohydrin produced from the aldol... I was working in fume hood (and
I used gas mask when needed)

The reaction foams quite a lot even without surfactants. Don't be surprised if you end up with an enormous and unmanageable quantity of foam.

I once tried to do a hypochlorite/urea run on a 6L scale with household bleach (read- surfacants). Pretty sure a horror movie could be made about the
20L or so of foam that seeked to swallow me whole before I shut it off. Give it a shot, but try to find a method of stirring that will keep the foam
down, and not encourage it

Hi,
Have anyone tried using acetone to get hydrazine and know what we are aiming to, azine OR hydrazone? I have a recipe in a book where they are using
acetone and they say you get hydrazone of acetone, and they are retrieving it as fraction distilling at 93-107 *C. How good would extraction with
toluene be? How big should be portions of toluene for a run at about 0.5 mole of reagents? Would 5-6 extractions with 15-20 cm^3 of toluene be enough?
