<br />Section 10: Stability and Reactivity Data
<br />Stability: The product is stable.
<br />Instability Temperature: Not available.
<br />Conditions of Instability: Incompatible materials, moisture, moist air
<br />Incompatibility with various substances:
<br />Highly reactive with metals. Reactive with oxidizing agents, reducing agents, acids, alkalis, moisture.
<br />Corrosivity: Not available.
<br />Special Remarks on Reactivity:
<br />Hygroscopic. Much heat is evolved when solid material is dissolved in water. Therefore cold water and caution must be used
<br />for this process. Sodium hydroxide solution and octanol + diborane during a work -up of a reaction mixture of oxime and
<br />diborane in tetrahyrofuran is very exothermic, a mild explosion being noted on one occassion. Reactive with water, acids
<br />(mineral, non - oxidizing, e.g. hydrochloric, hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, phosphoric), acids (mineral, oxidizing e.g. chromic
<br />acid, hypochlorous acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid), acids (organic e.g. acetic acid, benzoic acid, formic acid, methanoic acid,
<br />oxalic acid), aldehydes (e.g. acetaldehyde, acrolein, chloral hydrate, foraldehyde), carbamates (e.g. carbanolate, carbofuran),
<br />esters (e.g. butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl formate), halogenated organics (dibromoethane, hexachlorobenzene, methyl
<br />chloride, trichloroethylene), isocyanates (e.g. methyl isocyanate), ketones (acetone, acetophenone, MEK, MIBK), acid
<br />chlorides, strong bases, strong oxidizing agents, strong reducing agents, flammable liquids, powdered metals and metals (Le
<br />aluminum, tin, zinc, hafnium, raney nickel), metals (alkali and alkaline e.g. cesium, potassium, sodium), metal compounds
<br />(toxic e.g. berylium, lead acetate, nickel carbonyl, tetraethyl lead), mitrides (e.g. potassium nitride, sodium nitride), nitriles
<br />(e.g. acetonitrile, methyl cyanide), nitro compounds (organic e.g. nitrobenzene, nitromethane), acetic anhydride, chlorohydrin,
<br />chlorosulfonic acid, ethylene cyanohydrin, glyoxal, hydrosulfuric acid, oleum, propiolactone, acylonitrile, phorosous pentoxide,
<br />chloroethanol, chloroform - methanol, tetrahydroborate, cyanogen azide, 1,2,4,5 tetrachlorobenzene, cinnamaldehyde. Reacts
<br />with formaldehyde hydroxide to yield formic acid, and hydrogen.
<br />Special Remarks on Corrosivity: Very caustic to aluminum and other metals in presence of moisture.
<br />Polymerization: Will not occur.
