Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:

The physical state of the substances is derived from its melting and boiling points at ambient pressure

GLP compliance:

no

Test material

Test material information

Constituent 1

Reference substance name:

propylene oxide

IUPAC Name:

propylene oxide

Constituent 2

Reference substance name:

Methyloxirane

EC Number:

200-879-2

EC Name:

Methyloxirane

Cas Number:

75-56-9

IUPAC Name:

2-methyloxirane

Details on test material:

Test material was racemate from both R(+) and S(-) propylene oxide. This endpoint is not measured / determined with enantio-selective sensors.
Therefore the S(-) value is identical to the racemate endpoint.
