Hazard Predictions

- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
- Toxic: Reaction products may be toxic
The combination of anhydrides with sulfites or thiosulfites may result in the cleavage of the anhydride bonds with the production of SO2 gas, causing pressurization (Predicted). 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.
