Hazard Predictions

Nitromethane is sensitized by acetone (Varob'ev, A.A. 1981. Chemical Abstracts 94:49735; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2544.).

Nitro-alkanes react with ketones in the presence of a catalytic amount of base in the Henry (nitroaldol) reaction (Henry, L., Comptes Rendus, 1895, 120, 1265).
