Hazard Predictions

Thiocarbamate esters can be reduced by alkali metals at room temperature to thiocarbamate anions or to flammable amines and corrosive thiolates and alkoxides. Reactive radical intermediates are formed (A. G. M. Barrett, P. Prokopiou, D. Barton, Chem. Comm., 1979, p. 1175; A. G. M. Barrett, P. Prokopiou, D. Barton, R. B. Boar, J. F. McGhie, Chem. Comm., 1979, p. 1173). Alkali earth metals may react in a similar way.

Thiocarbamates may release flammable H2 gas upon exposure to group II metals (Predicted, citation needed).
