Ethyl acetate reacts vigorously with oxidizers (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 1570), and esters have an undefined incompatibility with nitrates (Lewis 1547).
Trimethyl phosphate may explode on contact with magnesium perchlorate (National Fire Protection Association, 1973, Publication 491M, pp. 154).
Thiophosphates may be oxidized to toxic and flammable SO2 gas by inorganic oxidizing agents (Predicted).
Esters may be oxidized to CO2 gas by strong oxidizing agents (Predicted).
Dimethyl sulfate ignites in contact with barium chlorite even at room temperature, presumably owing to formation of very unstable methyl chlorite. (Pascal, P. 1960. Nouveau Traité de Chimie Minérale. Vol. 16.1, p. 264. Masson et Cie.)
