Nitromethane reacts violently with formaldehyde in the presence of alkali (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2544.); reaction products are explosive at ambient temperature (Noland, W.E. 1961. Organic Synthesis 41:69.).
