Formic acid reacts exothermically with alcohols to form esters without need for catalysis, and reacts explosively with furfuryl alcohol (Gibson, H.W. 1969. Chemical Reviews 69:673; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 1750).
Oxalic acid also reacts explosively with furfuryl alcohol (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2369).
Furfuryl alcohol may emit carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and/or low molecular weight hydrocarbons upon decomposition (Predicted).
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Carbon Monoxide (CO)
- Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
