Hazard Predictions

Acyl halides undergo rapid nucleophilic attack by strong nucleophiles such as nitride ion (Loudon, Marc. 2002. Organic Chemistry. 4th ed. New York: Oxford University Press. p. 957-962). This reaction could produce amides and halide salts. If any water is present, it will also react with the acyl halide to generate carboxylic acid and HX gas, which can react with the remaining nitride to form ammonia.

Acetyl chloride reacts violently with strong bases (Pohanish, Richard P.; Greene, Stanley A. (2009). Wiley Guide to Chemical Incompatibilities (3rd Edition). John Wiley & Sons. p. 20).
