Hazard Predictions

Aldehydes have an unspecified incompatibility with reductants (Lenga, R.E., ed. 1988. Sigma Aldrich Library of Chemical Safety Data, 2nd Edition. Sigma Aldrich. pp. 5, 57, 344, 926, 1733.).

The reaction of formaldehyde with copper(I) oxide in alkaline media liberates flammable H2 gas (Walker, F. J., Formaldehyde. New York: ACS Monograph Series, 1964, pp. 218).

Inorganic reducing agents may reduce alcohols and aldehydes to hydrocarbons (Predicted). Saturated hydrocarbons with fewer than five carbons are flammable gases.
