Safety & Transport Information

Explosive reaction when heated with carbon, 2-aminophenol + tetrahydrofuran (at 65°C). Forms a friction-sensitive explosive mixture with hydrocarbons. Violent reaction with diselenium dichloride, ethanol, potassium-sodium alloy. May ignite on contact with organic compounds. Incandescent reaction with metals (e.g., arsenic, antimony, copper, potassium, tin, and zinc). When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of K2O. See also PEROXIDES, INORGANIC; PEROXIDES, ORGANIC.
