Hazard Predictions

Alkylaluminum compounds are powerful reducing agents, so their interactions with oxidants are likely to be highly exothermic and hazardous (Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology, 1963, London: Wiley-Interscience, Vol. 2, 38, 40; J. W. Mellor, 1946. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 5, pp. 850, 872. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.).

Addition of diethylzinc to liquid sulfur dioxide at -15C leads to an explosively violent reaction (Methoden der Organischen Chemie; Muller, E. (Ed.); Stuttgart, Thieme, 1973, Vol. 13.2a, p. 709).

Many metal acetylides react violently with oxidants (Urben, P.G. 1995. Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, 5th Edition. Oxford: Butterworth-Heinemann., Vol. 2, pp. 192).

NaH and SO2 react explosively (Moissan, H. 1902. Compt. Rend. 135:647).
