Hazard Predictions

Sodium hydride reacts with ketones to form corrosive and strongly basic sodium alkoxides (Klemm, A., Hartmann, G. and Lange, L. 2000. Sodium and Sodium Alloys. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).

Acetone, acetophenone, cyclohexanone, and methyl ethyl ketone are incompatible with strong reductants such as metal hydrides (Lenga, R.E., ed. 1988. Sigma Aldrich Library of Chemical Safety Data, 2nd Edition. Sigma Aldrich. pp. 20, 24, 605, 965).

Reactions of many organic compounds and hydrides (including ketones and NaH) evolve flammable H2 gas (Eggeman, T. 2001. Hydrides. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; Rittmeyer, P., U. Wietelmann. 2002. Hydrides. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of the Chemical Industry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA.).
