I am trying to do some reactions involving reagents and solvents and moderate temperatures. I wanted to know if the chemicals I have selected are safe to use under those conditions. Is there any standard procedure to go ahead in this case? Literature is rare about those specific reagents under those conditions.
Dear Vivek Patil, simple search using the keyword 'incompatible chemicals' you get the answer. Lists of these are available. My Regards
1.) Refer to SDS's for each chemical you are using.
2.) Refer to literature for systems using the two reagents you are considering.
3.) Speak to someone in person who is familiar with these, this may include a laboratory manager or safety officer.
4.) Ensure your setup and planned experiment is safe for experimentation.
5.) Start at smallest possible scale for safety.
