Hazard Predictions

Lithium aluminum hydride reacts violently with nitriles in the presence of water. Amines may be produced. (Lewis, R.J., Sr. 1992. Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, 8th Edition. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. pp. 2130).

Inorganic reductants may liberate flammable H2 gas upon exposure to nitriles and nitro compounds (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.
