Nitrobenzene reacts exothermically with SnCl4, evolving toxic NO and NO2 gases (Slavinskaya, R.A. Chemical Abstracts 52:2734a.).
Nitromethane is sensitized by ammonium salts (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2544.).
Both nitromethane and nitrobenzene forms explosive mixtures with AlCl3 (Reithman, J. et al. 1974. Chemie Ingenieur Technik 48, p. 729; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2518, 2544.).
Nitroalkanes can be reduced to oximes by SnCl2, TiCl3, or CrCl2 (Kammermeier, B. 2000. Reduction. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry (Online)).
