Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The half-life for hydrolysis of the test substance was determined to be 15 hours at 25°C and pH 7.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:
15 h
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

No experimental data on hydrolysis are available for the substance itself. Therefore, the hydrolytical potential is assessed based on data available for the close structural analogue benzyl chloride (CAS 100-44-7). This analogue differs from the test substance only in that it has an additional methyl group in ortho-position.

The structural analogue benzyl chloride (CAS 100 -44 -7) was found to hydrolyze in aqueous solution to benzyl alcohol and hydrochloric acid, whereby the hydrolysis varies with temperature and test solution (GDCh, 1998). Based on thermodynamic data, the half-life of the structural analogue in natural waters was determined to be 15 hours at 25 °C and pH 7. Since the test substance (CAS 552-45-4) differs from the structural analogue benzyl chloride (CAS 100-44 -7) only in that it has a methyl group in ortho-position, the half life of the test substance is considered to be 15 hours at 25 °C.
