Metal Hydrides, Metal Alkyls, Metal Aryls, and Silanes mixed with
Alkynes, with No Acetylenic Hydrogen

Hazard Predictions

Internal alkynes can be reduced to flammable alkenes or alkanes, depending on conditions, by complex hydrides such as LiAlH4, MgH2, or LaNi5H6 (Kammermeier, B. 2000. Reduction. Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry. (Online)).

Several complex reducing agents consisting of combinations of NaH with transition metal salts are active hydrogenation catalysts and react with unsaturated hydrocarbons to produce saturated hydrocarbons (Sullivan, E. and Wade, R. 1980. Hydrides. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 3rd ed. John Wiley & Sons, Inc.).
