Summary
- Flammable: Reaction products may be flammable
- Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
- Intense or explosive reaction: Reaction may be particularly intense, violent, or explosive
-
May produce the following gases:
- Hydrogen

Hazard Predictions
- Flammable: Reaction products may be flammable
- Generates gas: Reaction liberates gaseous products and may cause pressurization
- Generates heat: Exothermic reaction at ambient temperatures (releases heat)
- Intense or explosive reaction: Reaction may be particularly intense, violent, or explosive
The hydroxyl proton of an alcohol is easily extracted by strong reducing agents to yield flammable hydrogen gas. In many cases ignition occurs, and sometimes explosions also occur. (Rich, G. A., 1993, Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, TX, p. 256)
Inorganic reducing agents may reduce alcohols and aldehydes to hydrocarbons (Predicted). Saturated hydrocarbons with fewer than five carbons are flammable gases.
Potential Gas Byproducts
- Hydrogen (H2)
- Hydrocarbons
