Hazard Predictions

Dibenzoyl peroxide reacts violently with metal napthylates (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 392).

Organometallics may liberate inert CO2 gas upon exposure to organic peroxides (Hawkins, E. G. E. 1961. Organic Peroxides. New York: Van Nostrand, pp. 327).

Organic peroxides may explode on contact with reducing agents, including lithium aluminum hydride (Stutton, D.A. 1951. Chemistry and Industry 272; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 392, 2708).

Reaction of lithium aluminum hydride with 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-napthyl hydroperoxide is exothermic and violent (Stutton, D.A. 1951. Chemistry and Industry 272).

LiAlH4 can react exothermically with peroxidized tetrahydrofuran, evolving hydrogen which may be ignited by heat of reaction (Moffet, R.B. 1954. Chemical and Engineering News 32:4328).

Deuterium peroxide (analogous to hydrogen peroxide) may initiate the explosively violent decomposition of pentafluorophenyllithium (Kinsella, E. et al., Chem. and Ind., 1971, 1017).
