Hazard Predictions
- Potentially hazardous: May be hazardous but unknown
When combined, strong reducers and aldehydes may react with intensity, as shown in the example below. However, no specific evidence was found for a hazardous reaction between weak reducers and aldehydes. Because of the nature of the members of the Weak Reducing Agents group we would not expect reaction kinetics to yield hazardous conditions. We urge chemists to perform testing to ensure that hazards do not occur under conditions appropriate to the scenario.
Aldehydes have an unspecified incompatibility with reductants (Lenga, R.E., ed. 1988. Sigma Aldrich Library of Chemical Safety Data, 2nd Edition. Sigma Aldrich. pp. 5, 57, 344, 926, 1733).
