Acetone may ignite on contact with HNO3 (University Safety Association. 1989. Safety Digest 34:14.).
Acetone reacts violently with HNO3 and HClO4 (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 23), and reacts explosively with mixtures of HNO3 and H2SO4 (Fawcett, H.H. 1959. Industrial Engineering and Chemistry 51(4):89A; Lewis 23).
Acetone may explode when mixed with monoperoxosulfuric acid (Bayer, A. 1900. Berichte. 33:858).
Cyclohexanone reacts violently with HNO3, potentially evolving toxic NOx gases (Wilson, B.J. et al. 1979. Loss Prevention 12: 27-29; Dye, W.T. 1959. Chemical and Engineering News 37:48.).
Methyl ethyl ketone is incompatible with chlorosulfonic acid and fuming sulfuric acid (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2319.).
HNO3 may catalyze peroxidization of ketones by H2O2 (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 991, 2319.).
Cyclohexanone reacts violently with HNO3, potentially evolving toxic NOx gases (Wilson, B.J. et al. 1979. Loss Prevention 12: 27-29; Dye, W.T. 1959. Chemical and Engineering News 37:48.).
Oxidizing acids may react with ketones to liberate toxic SOx and ClO2 gases and inert CO2 gas (Predicted).
