Hazard Predictions

Phenol reacts with bromine in aqueous solutions at ambient temperatures, producing toxic HCl as a byproduct (Solomons, T.W.G. 1984. Organic Chemistry, 3rd Edition. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 685.).

Phenol reacts exothermically with Ca(OCl)2, producing toxic and flammable fumes, which can be ignited by reaction heat (Fawcett, H. 1959. Industrial and Engineering Chemistry Research 51:89A-90A.).

Phenol may explode violently if heated with NaNO2 (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 1672.).

Phenols may liberate toxic and flammable aldehyde, ClO2, and Cl2, toxic halocarbon, flammable H2, and inert CO2 gases upon exposure to inorganic oxidizers (Predicted).
