Hazard Predictions

LiAlH4 rapidly reduces aryl halides to non-halogenated aromatics at room temperature (H. C. Brown, S. Krishnamurthy, Tetrahedron 35 (1979) 567).

One of the fluorine atoms from pentafluoropyridine can be replaced by hydrogen upon reaction with lithium aluminum hydride, producing 2,3,5,6-tetrafluoropyridine (Boudakian, M. M. 2000. Fluorinated Aromatic Compounds. Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. (Online)).

Naphthylsodium reacts exothermically with chlorinated biphenyl at elevated temperatures. This reaction could lead to an explosion (MCA Case History No. 565, Case Histories of Accidents in the Chemical Industry, Washington, MCA).
