If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates in a detonation. Nitroalkanes are milder oxidizing agents, but still react violently with reducing agents at higher temperature and pressures. Nitroalkanes react with inorganic bases to form explosive salts.

Nitrocyclohexane, a nitroalkane, is a strong oxidizing agents.
If mixed with reducing agents, including hydrides, sulfides
and nitrides, they may begin a vigorous reaction that culminates
in a detonation. Nitroalkanes are milder oxidizing
agents, but still react violently with reducing agents at higher
temperature and pressures. Nitroalkanes react with inorganic
bases to form explosive salts. The presence of metal oxides
increases the thermal sensitivity of nitroalkanes. Nitroalkanes
with more than one nitro group are generally explosive.
Incompatible with alkalis, and metal oxides. This chemical is
highly reactive and may be heat-and shock-sensitive. | | Waste Disposal | Dissolve or mix the material
with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical
incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber.
All federal, state, and local environmental regulations must
be observed. |
