Description of key information

The substance will not evaporate into the atmosphere from the water surface.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Henry's law constant (H) (in Pa m³/mol):
0.026
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

The parent compound 3-chloropropionyl chloride (CAS 625-36-5) rapidly hydrolyses in contact with water and forms 3-chloropropionic acid (107-94-8). Considering the Henry’s Law Constant, the assessment is, therefore, predominantly based on information available for the hydrolysis product 3-chloropropionic acid.

Parent compound 3-chloropropionyl chloride (CAS 625-36-5):

No experimental data are available. Therefore, the Henry's Law constant (HLC) was calculated using the bond estimation method of HENRYWIN v3.20 (EPISuite v 4.11; BASF SE 2019). The model estimated the HLC of the substance to be 31 Pa*m³/mol. This estimate refers to the uncharged molecule. The substance is within the applicability domain of the model.

This indicates a volatile character of the parent compound. However, 3-chloropropionyl chloride hydrolyses rapidly in contact with water to form 3-chloropropionic acid (CAS 107-94-8). Therefore, this model calculation may be of low relevance.

 

Hydrolysis product 3-chloropropionic acid (CAS 107-94-8):

No experimental data are available. Therefore, the Henry's Law constant (HLC) was also calculated using the bond estimation method of HENRYWIN v3.20 (EPISuite v 4.11; BASF SE 2019). The model estimated the HLC of the substance to be 0.026 Pa*m³/mol. This estimate refers to the uncharged molecule. The substance is within the applicability domain of the model.

Based on the available experimental data, the hydrolysis product 3-chloropropionic acid (CAS 107-94-8)will not evaporate into the atmosphere from the water surface.

 

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 methyl chloroformate (CAS 79-22-1) (Q)SAR results were used for the estimation of the Henry’s Law constant. 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 the Henry’s Law Constant are not provided.
