Hazard Predictions

Acetyl chloride reacts violently with strong oxidizers, such as nitro-organic compounds (Pohanish, Richard P.; Greene, Stanley A. (2009). Wiley Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities (3rd Edition). John Wiley & Sons. p. 20).

Many nitro compounds are weak acids due to the fact that the nitro group is electron withdrawing (Personal communication with chemical industry experts). The combination of acid halides and weak acids may be exothermic and yield hydrogen halide gases (Predicted). These reactions may be slow under ambient conditions, but could intensify with heat. This combination may cause pressurization. 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.
