NaOH can react violently with Br2 (MCA Case History 1636, Case Histories of Accidents in the Chemical Industry, Washington, Manufacturing Chemists' Association.).
Dichloromethylamine may react with strong OH- donors to liberate toxic HCN gas (Smith, P. A. S., Open-Chain Nitrogen Compounds, Vol. I. New York: W. A. Benjamin, Inc.,1965, pp. 194).
Strong bases may react with sulfinyl halides to form toxic and corrosive gases (Predicted). Reactions with strong halogenating agents may be intense and violent. Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
Potential Gas Byproducts
