Ethylenediamine reacts violently with silver perchlorate (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 1554.), potentially igniting and exploding due to reaction heat (National Fire Protection Association. 1975. Publication 491M. pp. 368).
Amines will also incandesce with fluorine, posing a fire hazard (Hoffman, C.J. 1962. Chemical Reviews 62:12).
Methylamine reacts violently with many oxidizing agents (Lenga, R.E., ed. 1988. Sigma Aldrich Library of Chemical Safety Data, 2nd Edition. Sigma Aldrich. pp. 2283).
Butylamine and nitrosyl chloride react to liberate inert N2 gas (Smith, P. A. S., Open-Chain Nitrogen Compounds, Vol. I. New York: W. A. Benjamin, Inc., 1965, pp. 34). Amines may also react with phosgene to liberate N2 gas (Ibid, pp. 245).
Aniline reacts vigorously with group I metal peroxides (Fire and Explosion Risks, von Schwartz, E., London, Griffin, 1918, p. 328; Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 254).
Ethylphosphine explodes on contact with chlorine, bromine or fuming nitric acid (Fire and Explosion Risks, von Schwartz, E., London, Griffin, 1918, p. 324-325).
Aniline, dimethyl amine, and pyridine incandesce on contact with fluorine (Hoffman, C. J., Chem. Rev., 1962, 62, 12).
Amines may release NOx and N2 gases upon exposure to strong oxidizing agents (Predicted).
