Hi Will,
Diazald is a verty dangerous compund! It's almost to the point where if you
look at it funny, it will explode. It's not as dangerous as diazomethane, but
it ranks up there. I know for MNNG, you have to use non-ground glassware.
Diazald isn't as bad, but it's still dangerous. There are special Diazald kits
available from Sigma (e.g, P/N Z100250),but it can be pretty explensive. We
used it a couple of times in our lab, but due to the precautions and danger
involved, we've opted for other reagents (we do methylation of fatty acids
prior to GC analysis).
Cheers,
Robert
