Its given that When treated with ammonia it is conceivable that one or more of the three possible azinamines, NH2N3, NH(N3)2, and N(N3)3 may be formed. But in this compound, chlorine has a positive oxidation state; which is evident from its hydrolysis,

ClN3 + H2O → HN3 + HOCl.

I have read an article which says, the reaction of chlorine azide with sodium at very low temperatures (<173 K) produces NaN3.

2ClN3 + 2Na> → 2NaN3 + Cl2

So, presumably, ammonolysis reaction will be,

ClN3 + NH3 → HN3 + NH2Cl
