Reactions of organic peroxides and aldehydes form explosive peroxy compounds (Sanchez, J., T.N. Meyers. 2000. Peroxides and Peroxide Compounds, Organic Peroxides. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons. (Online)).
Formaldehyde and peroxyformic acid react violently (D'Ans, J. et al. 1915. Berichte. 48:1136.).
The reaction of aldehydes and oxidizing acids may produce carboxylic acids which may decarboxylate, particularly for monoalkyl- or dialkylacetoacetic acids (Morrison, R. 1973. Organic Chemistry. Allyn and Bacon, Inc., Boston, pp. 630).
Strong oxidizing agents may decarboxylate aldehydes, releasing CO2 gas (Predicted).
Potential Gas Byproducts
