Any other information on results incl. tables

Irradiation of 2-Chlorobenzothiazole in air-saturated (or oxygented) acetonitrile led to the disappearance of the test substance after approximately 50 h. The phototransformation products were 2(3H)-Benzothiazolone (373 mg/250 mL, 16.8 %) and the symmetric dimer 2,2'-Dibenzothiazole (734 mg/250 mL, 37.5 %)

Irradiation of 2-Chlorobenzothiazole in air-saturated ethanol led to the formation of 2(3H)-Benzothiazolone (748 mg/250 mL, 33.6 %) and Benzothiazole (218 mg/250 mL, 11 %) after 120 h.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Irradiation of 2-Chlorobenzothiazole in organic solvent (acetonitrile and ethanol) in the presence of dissolved oxygen significantly decreased the concentration of the substance
