Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

Description of key information

In contact with water 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl chloride will hydrolyse rapidly and forms 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid and hydrochloric acid.

According to structural properties hydrolysis of the hydrolysis product 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic is not expected.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

QSAR-disclaimer

In Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, it is laid down that information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI (of the same Regulation) are met.

According to Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (Q)SAR results can be used if (1) the scientific validity of the (Q)SAR model has been established, (2) the substance falls within the applicability domain of the (Q)SAR model, (3) the results are adequate for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment and (4) adequate and reliable documentation of the applied method is provided.

For the assessment of 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl chloride (Q)SAR results were used for hydrolysis. The criteria listed in Annex XI of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 are considered to be adequately fulfilled and therefore the endpoint(s) sufficiently covered and suitable for risk assessment.

Therefore, further experimental studies on hydrolysis are not provided.

 

Assessment:

HYDROWIN 2.00 data indicate that acyl halides, like 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl chloride, usually have hydrolytic half-lives of less than 10 minutes (BASF SE, 2021).

3,5,5-trimethylhexanoyl chloride hydrolyses rapidly and forms 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid and hydrochloric acid. Hydrochloric acid is inorganic. 3,5,5-trimethylhexanoic acid does not decompose by hydrolysis under environmental conditions due to its chemical structure.
