- Toxic: Reaction products may be toxic
Nitrides are extremely strong bases and can catalyze the exothermic condensation of the aldehyde (Rich, G. A., 1993, Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, TX, p. 258).
The aldehyde may be deprotonated by the nitride at the alpha position, forming flammable ammonia gas (Rich, G. A., 1993, Dangerous Chemical Reactions, Gulf Publishing Co., Houston, TX, p. 258). Phosphides, carbides, and silicides may behave similarly to nitrides, therefore they may also deprotonate aldehydes, generating PH3, CH4, and SiH4, respectively (Predicted). These products are all flammable gases, and phosphine and silane are also toxic.
