Hazard Predictions
- Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
- Intense or explosive reaction: Reaction may be particularly intense, violent, or explosive
The hydroxyl proton of an alcohol or hemiacetal is easily extracted by strong reducing agents to yield flammable hydrogen gas. In many cases ignition occurs, and sometimes explosions also occur. (Rich, G. A., 1993, Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, TX, p. 256)
Inorganic reducing agents may reduce alcohols and alcohol-like hemiacetals to hydrocarbons (Predicted). Saturated hydrocarbons with fewer than five carbons are flammable gases.
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Hydrogen (H2)
