Halogens may initiate polymerization of acrylonitrile, even at reduced temperatures (MCA Case History No. 1214, Case Histories of Accidents in the Chemical Industry, Manufacturing Chemists' Association, Washington).
Nitriles may react with the halogens to liberate toxic HX gases (Smith, P. A. S., Open-Chain Nitrogen Compounds, Vol. I. New York: W. A. Benjamin, Inc., 1965, pp. 218).
Potential Gas Byproducts
