Hazard Predictions
- Flammable: Reaction products may be flammable
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
Carboxylic esters react with amines to form amides and flammable alcohols (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 967).
This reaction may be exothermic, but the heat generated is not expected to be hazardous (less than 100 cal/gram). Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
