Hazard Predictions

Nitriles can be hydrolyzed to carboxylate salts and toxic, flammable ammonia gas by heating them with strong bases (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 956). This reaction is unlikely to happen with weak bases such as basic salts, but if it does, it is not expected to generate a hazardous amount of heat (less than 100 cal/gram). Further research of comparable examples in the literature or very small scale, carefully controlled experiments may be needed to fully assess compatibility.
