These hexafluoronickelates can be used as fluorinating reagents (15), as a source of high purity elemental fluorine (9,10), and as high energy soHd propeUant oxidizers (see Explosives and propellants) (18). 

Cyclic Peroxides. CycHc diperoxides (4) and triperoxides (5) are soHds and the low molecular weight compounds are shock-sensitive and explosive (151). The melting points of some characteristic compounds of this type are given in Table 5. They can be reduced to carbonyl compounds and alcohols with zinc and alkaH, zinc and acetic acid, aluminum amalgam, Grignard reagents, and warm acidified iodides (44,122). They are more difficult to analyze by titration with acidified iodides than the acycHc peroxides and have been sucessfuUy analyzed by gas chromatography (112). 

It was thought that the acetal might have reacted with peroxy reagents, forming explosive peroxides. It was suggested that this could also occur with compounds such as tetrahydrofuranyl acetals, 1,3-dioxolanes, and methoxymethyl ethers. 

Triethylsilyl perchlorate. This reagent represents an explosion hazard. ... 

TBDMSOCIO3, CH3CN, Pyr, 20 min, 100% yield. This reagent works well but has the disadvantage of being explosive and has been supplanted by TBDMSOSO2CF3. 

Dinitrofluorobenzene (Sanger s reagent) [70-34-8] M 186.1, m 25-27 , b 133 /2mm, 140-141 /5mm, d 1.483. Crystd from ether or EtOH. Vacuum distd through a Todd Column (see p. 174). If it is to be purified by distn in vacuo, the distn unit must be allowed to cool before air is allowed into the apparatus otherwise the residue carbonises spontaneously and an EXPLOSION may occur. The material is a skin irritant and may cause serious dermatitis. 

Chiorosuifonic (chiorosuifuric) acid [7790-94-5] M 116.5, b lSl-lS2°/7S0mm, d4 1.753, n 1.4929, pK -5.9 (aq H2SO4). Distd in an all-glass apparatus, taking the fraction boiling at 156-158°. Reacts EXPLOSIVELY with water [Cremlyn Chiorosuifonic acid A Versatile Reagent, Royal Society of Chemistry UK, 2002, 308 pp, ISBN 0854044981].
