Halogenated Organic Compounds

Hazard Predictions

Dichloromethane forms heat-, impact-, or friction-sensitive explosive mixtures with HNO3 (Kurbangalina, R.K. 1959. Zh. Prikl. Khim. 32:1467.).

Chlorobenzene can react explosively with HNO3 at somewhat elevated temperatures (e.g., 60 C) (Anon. 1974. Jahresberichte. 86.).

Chloroform oxidizes to phosgene, HCl, Cl2, CO2, and H2O (Holbrook, M.T. 2003. Chloroform. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).

Haloforms may oxidize to phosgene, carbonyl fluoride, HX (including HBr, HF, and HI), Cl2, F2, CO2, or H2O when mixed with oxidizing acids (Predicted by comparison to similar reactions).

Halogenated organics may release toxic HF, HCl, HBr, and/or HI gases upon exposure to acids (Predicted).
