- Remarks:
- No: #1 Identifier: CAS number Identity: 108-42-9
- No.:
- #1
- Conclusions:
- 1,2 -dichloro-4 -nitrobenzene degraded under anaerobic conditions in sediment yielding a half-life of 2.4 days. 3 -Chloroaniline and 3,4 -dichloroaniline were detected as degradation products (Susarla, 1996).
- Executive summary:
1,2 -dichloro-4 -nitrobenzene degraded under anaerobic conditions in sediment yielding a half life of 2.4 days. 3 -Chloroaniline and 3,4 -dichloroaniline were detected as degradation products (Susarla, 1996).
Reference
The loss of the compound in sediment was observed without any lag period. The reaction followed a first-order reaction mechanism with a rate constant 0.289 +/- 0.015 per day. Half live was 2.4 days. In autoclaved sediment (control experiment) the rate constant was 0.0012 per day. Up to half of the 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene was recovered as 3,4-dichloroaniline, which was degraded less rapidly than the TS
Degradation products: yes
Degradation products (CAS No./EC No./EINECS Name): 108-42-9 203-581-0 3-chloroaniline
Degradation products (CAS No./EC No./EINECS Name): 95-76-1 202-448-4 3,4-dichloroaniline
Description of key information
1,2 -dichloro-4 -nitrobenzene degraded under anaerobic conditions in sediment yielding a half life of 2.4 days. 3 -Chloroaniline and 3,4 -dichloroaniline were detected as degradation products (Susarla, 1996).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
