Preliminary study:
Due to the low water solubilty of the test substance DMF was added to increase solubility (as specified in Directive 84/449/EEC)
A stock solution of 115 mg test substance in 100 mL DMF was prepared. 1 mL stock solution was added to a volumetric flask and filled up to 100 mL with the buffer solutions respectively.
In the preliminary test volumetric flasks were heated at 50°C for 2.4 h and 5 d. After heating the test solutions were cooled with ice and the concentrations were measured immediately.

Description of key information

Hydrolysis

In the preliminary test degradation was below 10 % after 5 days (= t0.5> 1 year). Therefore, the test substance is regarded as hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 and no additional testing is required.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
