CHEMICAL PROPERTIES probably combustible may react vigorously with oxidizing materials may undergo trans-nitrosation reactions with secondary amines... 

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES flammable liquid hazardous polymerization may occur when subjected to elevated temperatures, oxidizing materials, peroxides, or sunlight usually contains inhibitors to prevent polymerization uninhibited monomer vapor may form polymer in confined spaces prolonged contact with air may form organic peroxides reacts with alkalies and alkali metals, such as aluminum slowly decomposes on exposure to air, light and moisture, forming hydrogen chloride FP (18-21°C, 36-39°F) LFL/UFL (5.6%, 12.8%) AT (460°C, 860°F) HF (cis isomer -26.4 kJ/mol, trans isomer -23.1 kJ/mol liquid at 298.15K). 

Isomerization of Alkenes. There are many metals and metal oxide materials that are active for isomerization reactions, whether the isomerization is internal (cis-trans) or skeletal. Each metal oxide has its own set of reaction characteristics, producing a wide variety of activities and selectivities. Indeed, the oxidation state of the metal oxide has also been shown to be crucial in determining the nature of the isomerization process.

The starting material was trans-cyclopropane-1,2-dimethanol. The contiguous cyclopropane units were added by two iterative sequences of oxidation-Wadsworth-Emmons reduction-cyclopropanation. 

Subramaniam, 1988]. Hydrochlorination, usually carried out at about 10°C, proceeds by electrophilic addition to give the Markownikoff product with chlorine on the tertiary carbon (Eq. 9-33) [Golub and Heller, 1964 Tran and Prud homme, 1977]. Some cyclization of the intermediate carbocation (XXVI) also takes place (Sec. 9-7). The product, referred to as rubber hydrochloride, has low permeability to water vapor and is resistant to many aqueous solutions (hut not bases or oxidizing acids). Applications include packaging film laminates with metal foils, paper, and cellulose films, although it has been largely replaced by cheaper packaging materials such as polyethylene. 

Cis-stilbene (Zl) also undergoes a conrotatory cyclization reaction into trans-4a,4b-dihydrophenanthrene (DHP, 2), a short living, not isolated product with an absorption in the visible spectrum at 450 nm. In the absence of an oxidizing agent DHP will return to the starting material, by both a thermal and a photochemical ring opening reaction.
