Conjugated dienes are incompatible with oxidants such as nitrate and nitrite salts. 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.
The reaction of sodium nitrite and 1,3-butadiene results in a spontaneously flammable product (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 2000. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 10th Edition. New York: John Wiley & Sons, p. 591).
