Safety Description:Presumed to be a poison. Ignites spontaneously in air. Dangerously flammable by spontaneous chemical reaction in air, or with oxidizing materials. A dangerous explosion hazard. Explosive reaction with alkenes + diiodomethane, sulfur dioxide. Reacts violently with bromine, water, nitro compounds. Ignites on contact with air, ozone, methanol, or hydrazine. Reacts violently with nonmetal halides (e.g., arsenic trichloride or phosphorus trichloride) to produce pyrophoric triethyl arsine or triethyl phosphine.
