Sulfides, Inorganic mixed with
Epoxides

Hazard Predictions

Epoxide rings react with basic nucleophiles such as sulfide anions to form ring-opened products. Inorganic sulfides are strongly basic, so this reaction is likely to be rapid and exothermic (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 467).

Inorganic sulfides may initiate the polymerization of epoxides (Rich, G. A., 1993, Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, TX, p. 296).
