Hazard Predictions

Benzene reacts exothermically and may ignite or explode on contact with BrF5 (Mellor, J.W. 1956. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, Supp. 1, p. 172. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Benzene, and most organic solvents, ignite on contact with BrF3 (Mellor, J.W. 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, p. 113. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; 1956. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 164-167).

Benzene ignites on contact with IF7 (Booth, H.S. et al. 1947. Chemical Reviews 41:428).

Benzene reacts violently with IF5 at slightly elevated temperatures (323K) (Ruff, O. et al. 1931. Z. Anorg. Chem. 201:245).

Benzene, toluene, or xylene react violently with UF6, carbonizing the aromatic compounds (The Chemical Elements and their Compounds, Sidgwick, N.V., Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1950, pp. 1072).

Chloromethyl ethyl ether liberates toxic HCl gas upon exposure to benzene (Walker, F. J., Formaldehyde. New York: ACS Monograph Series, 1964, pp. 279).

Benzene may liberate toxic HX gases upon reaction with the respective diatomic halogens or through reaction with the corresponding acid halides (Rodd, E. H, Ed. Chemistry of Organic Compounds. New York: Elsevier Publishing Company, 1951. Vol. III pp. 90, 96-97).
