Hazard Predictions
- Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
The combination of acyl halides and phenols may result in a reaction which produces esters and toxic HX gas (Predicted). The reaction is expected to be exothermic. 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. The generation of gases may be rather slow, however confinement may lead to dangerous conditions.
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Hydrogen Halide (HX)
- Acid Fumes
