Hazard Predictions

Dithiocarbamate salts can react with acrylonitrile at ambient temperatures to form thiocarbamate esters or isocyanates, and toxic, flammable H2S gas. This reaction does not involve the nitrile moiety; rather it is a nucleophilic attack by the dithiocarbamate on the alkene portion of the acrylonitrile molecule. (Thorn, G.D., R.A. Ludwig. 1962. Dithiocarbamates and Related Compounds, Amsterdam: Elsevier. pp. 78-79).
