- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
Aniline, a weak base, spontaneously ignites on contact with tetranitromethane (Gol'binder, A.A. 1963. Chemical Abstracts 59:9730b), and reacts vigorously with trichloromethane (Jackson, K.E. 1934. Chemical Reviews 14:269; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 254). Caution should be used before proceeding. Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
