Acetone reacts explosively with bromine trifluoride (Sharpe, A.G. et al. 1948. Journal of the Chemical Society 2136; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 23), or violently with sulfur dichloride (Fawcett, F.S. et al. 1963. Inorganic Synthesis 7:121; Lewis 23).
Reactions between bromine and acetone can be violent if bromine is in significant excess (Levene, P.A. 1943. Organic Synthesis 2:89).
Acetone may form water-soluble and toxic chloracetones with chlorinating agents (Sifniades, S., A.B. Levy. 2002. Acetone. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. (Online)).
Reaction of acetone with IF7 is highly exothermic (Booth, H.S. et al. 1947. Chemical Reviews 41:428).
