The combination of halogenating agents with acetals, hemiacetals, or other compounds containing hydroxyl groups may react as follows:
Isopropanol can react violently with PBr3, releasing toxic HBr gas (Taylor, D.A.H. 1974. Chemistry in Britain 10:101-102.).
Isopropanol can react with PCl3, forming toxic HCl gas (Logsdon, J.E., R.A. Loke. 1996. Isopropyl Alcohol. In Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. (Online)).
Glycerol and chlorine can react explosively at slightly elevated temperatures (Statesir, W.A. 1973. Chemical Engineering Progress 69(4):54.).
BrF3 ignites or explodes on contact with most organic compounds, including alcohols (Mellor, J.W. 1941. Mellor's Comprehensive Treatise on Inorganic and Theoretical Chemistry. Vol. 2, p. 113. Longmans, Green and Co Ltd.; 1956, Volume 2, Supplemental 1. pp. 164-167).
Ethanol ignites on contact with IF7 (Booth, H.S. et al. 1947. Chemical Reviews 41:428).
Glycerol and PI3 react violently (Leleu, J., 1974, Les Reactions Chimique Dangereuse, Cahiers de Notes Documentaires, (75), 273).
Ethanol reacts vigorously with UF6 (The Chemical Elements and their Compounds, Sidgwick, N.V., Oxford, Oxford University Press, 1950, p. 1072).
Alcohols likely react with acetyl halides to produce HX gases, including HF and HI not listed above (Predicted by similar reactions)
Alcohols likely react with PX3 compounds forming toxic HX gases, including HF and HI not listed above (Predicted by similar reactions)
