NaOH reacts explosively with NaBH4 at elevated temperatures, with evolution of flammable hydrogen gas (Mikheeva, V.I. et al. 1969. Chemical Abstracts 71:85064).
The product of the reaction between phenyllithium and titanium tetraethoxide is air- and water-sensitive (Gilman, H. et al., J. Org. Chem., 1945, 10, 507).
Silane reacts with aqueous solutions of strong bases to form hydrogen and silicates (Eggeman, T. 2001. Hydrides. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
Potential Gas Byproducts
