Benzene vapors + chlorine and light causes explosion. Reacts explosively with bromine pentafluoride, chlorine, chlorine
trifluoride, diborane, nitric acid, nitryl perchlorate, liquid oxygen, ozone, silver perchlorate. Benzene + pentafluoride and
methoxide (from arsenic pentafluoride and potassium methoxide) in trichlorotrifluoroethane causes explosion. Interaction
of nitryl perchlorate with benzene gave a slight explosion and flash. The solution of permanganic acid ( or its explosive
anhydride, dimaganese heptoxide) produced by interaction of permanganates and sulfuric acid will explode on contact with
benzene. Peroxodisulfuric acid is a very powferful oxidant. Uncontrolled contact with benzene may cause explosion. Mixtures
of peroxomonsulfuric acid with benzene explodes
