Hazard Predictions

Strong acids can exothermically polymerize 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane (M. Sittig, 1981, Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous 365betÓéÀÖ, Park Ridge (NJ), Noyes Data Corp., 2nd ed., pp. 23), or ethylene oxide (Denver, J.P., K.F. George, W.C. Hoffman, and H. Soo. 2001. Ethylene oxide. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).

1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane reacts violently with H2SO4 (Leleu, J., 1974, Les Reactions Chimique Dangereuse, Cahiers de Notes Documentaires, (75), p. 276.).

Acids may reduce epoxides down to saturated hydrocarbons (Predicted). Saturated hydrocarbons with fewer than five carbons are flammable gases.
