Diphenylmethyl bromide decomposes in water to give corrosive hydrobromic acid (Dvorko, G. F.; Ponomareva, E. A.; Ponomarev, M. E.; Journal of Physical Organic Chemistry, 17(10), 2004, p. 825-836).
Bis(chloromethyl) ether is insoluble in water. The compound reacts with water to form hydrochloric acid & formaldehyde (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. 1998. Extremely Hazardous Substances (EHS) Chemical Profiles and Emergency First Aid Guides. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office).
Due to the fact that these compounds are insoluble in water and that the hydrolysis reaction may require some degree of heat to speed the reaction forward, it will not be particularly hazardous right away.
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Acid Fumes
- Hydrogen Halide (HX)
