Dinitroanilines can react vigorously with HCl, with gas evolution, particularly if some Cl2 is present to catalyze the reaction (Harris, G.P.F. et al. 1983. Chemistry and Industry 183.).
Nitromethane and methyl nitrate are sensitized by acids (Makovky, A. et al. 1958. Chemical Reviews 58:631; Black, A.P. et al. 1943. Organic Synthesis 2:412; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2544.).
Nitro compounds may decompose in the presence of inorganic acids, liberating CO2 and NOx gases (Predicted by comparison to similar reactions).
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
- Nitrogen Oxides (NOx)
