Hazard Predictions

The product of the reaction of nitromethane with carbon disulfide is unstable (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann. pp. 185.).

Aromatic nitro compounds can be reduced to aromatic amines using inorganic sulfides such as Na2S, inorganic disulfides such as Na2S2, or hydrosulfide salts such as NaSH (Zinin reduction). Many aromatic amines are flammable, poisonous, and potential carcinogens (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 2000. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 10th Edition. New York: John Wiley & Sons, p. 298, 262-3, 3488-9; Cartolano, A. R. and Vedage, G. A. 2004. Amines by Reduction. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology (Online)).
