Ethyl acetate vapors ignite on contact with KtBuO (Manwaring, R. et al. 1973. Chemistry and Industry 172).
Hydroxide bases react irreversibly with carboxylic esters in an exothermic hydrolysis reaction that generates carboxylate salts and flammable alcohols (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 951-952).
