Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Justification for classification or non-classification
In vitro:
BASF (1991) found a positive result when tested 3-methyl-2-butenal in an Ames test. Concentrations used were 20, 100, 500, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000 and 6000 ug/plate with and without metabolic activation. This test was done according to Ames et al. (1973).
In an older BASF study (1979) a negative Ames test result was obtained. Concentrations ranged from 4 - 2500 ug/plate with and without metabolic activation. Also, this test was done according to Ames et al. (1973).
In vivo:
An unscheduled DNA synthesis test done with OECD guideline 486 (BASF, 2001). Male rats were given doses of 350 and 700 mg/kg as a single application (gavage). 3-methyl-2-butenal did not induce DNA damage as evidenced by the negative result in the UDS assay when given to rats in sublethal doses which led to clear signs of acute toxicity. Cell viability and cell morphology were not affected by the treatment.
BASF (1992) reported a micronucleus test (according to OECD guideline 474). No clastogenicity and no impairment of chromosome distrubion was found in this study. 3-methyl-2-butenal was given as a single treatment to male and female mice via gavage. Doses tested were 175, 350 and 700 mg/kg.
Since both in vivo studies showed negative results, classification regarding genotoxicity is not necessary.
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.
