Conclusions:

From the structural formula Kephalis can, under acid catalysis, react with water in a hydrolysis reaction to form [1] (see report) and ethanol (see also literature Corbier, Bernard P.; Teisseire, Paul J.; US 3953515 A 19760427).

Both hydrolysis products are not gaseous. Kephalis is therefore not expected to emit flammable gases in contact with water.

This is in line with the fact that during studies such as the determination of the hydrolysis as a function of pH (determination of Physico-chemical properties of Kephalis, WIL Research Europe B.V., Project 505319) where hydrolysis of Kephalis was observed at pH 4, but not emission of gases.

Therefore it can be concluded beyond reasonable doubt that the contact of the substance with water or damp air will not lead to the development of dangerous amounts of gas or gases which may be highly flammable.
