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 reacts with bromine in aqueous solution at ambient temperatures, producing toxic HBr as a byproduct (Solomons, T.W.G. 1984. Organic Chemistry, 3rd Edition. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. pp. 685).
BrF3 ignites or explodes on contact with most organic compounds (Mellor, J.W. 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd. Vol. 2, pp. 113; 1956. Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 164-167).
