Sodium hydride reacts with phenols to form sodium phenolate salts (Klemm, A., Hartmann, G. and Lange, L. 2000. Sodium and Sodium Alloys. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).
Compounds with acidic protons, such as phenol, react with organolithium and organomagnesium reagents to liberate flammable hydrocarbon gases (Carey, Francis. "Organic Chemistry", 5th Edition, Chpt. 14. Accessed at: http://www.chem.ucalgary.ca/courses/351/Carey5th/Ch14/ch14-1.html#Reactivity).
Hydrides react spontaneously and irreversibly with proton donors, including phenols, to evolve flammable H2 gas (Rittmeyer, P., U. Wietelmann. 2002. Hydrides. In Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA).
