Hazard Predictions

When strong reducers and alcohols are combined, the hydroxyl proton of an alcohol may be abstracted by strong reducing agents to yield flammable hydrogen gas (Predicted). However, no specific evidence was found for a hazardous reaction between weak reducers and alcohol. Because of the nature of the members of the Weak Reducing Agents group we would not expect reaction kinetics to yield hazardous conditions. We urge chemists to perform testing to ensure that hazards do not occur under conditions appropriate to the scenario.
