Buffers:
pH 4 (0.05 M) Citrate Buffer
23 g of potassium dihydrogen citrate were dissolved in 1 L of water.
An aliquot of 0.50 L was mixed with 0.09 L of 0.1 M NaOH and filled up with water to 1 L to
give a pH of 4.
pH 7 (0.05 M) Phosphate Buffer
13.6 g of potassium dihydrogen phosphate were dissolved in 1 L of water.
An aliquot of 0.50 L was mixed with 0.296 L of 0.1 M NaOH and filled up with water to 1 L
to give a pH of 7.

pH 9 (0.05 M) Borate Buffer
19 g of sodium tetraborate decahydrate were dissolved in 1 L of water.
An aliquot of 0.85 L was mixed with 0.15 L of 0.1 M HCl (prepared from 10 M HCl, Merck,

Number of replicates:
Two replicate test solutions were prepared for water and each buffer solution.

Details on hydrolysis and appearance of transformation product(s):
Hydrolysis was examined in demineralized water and in aqueous buffer solutions at pH 4, 7 and 9. Aliquots of the hydrolysis systems were collected at several time points and analysed immediately by LC-MS/MS to follow the formation of the expected hydrolysis product benzoic acid. Analysis of the intact test item complex was considered not possible.
Within the first couple of minutes about half and more of the amount of test item dosed was already hydrolysed to form free benzoic acid. This phase was noted as a 1st phase of an
obviously bi-phasic kinetic, whereby the 1st phase half-life of the test item was estimated to be
less than 6 to 7 minutes for demineralised water and the pH 4 buffer, for the pH 7 and pH 9
buffer the 1st phase half-life was estimated to be shorter than 2 minutes.
The slower, 2nd phase half-life times were obtained by applying 1st order kinetics and range from about 0.4 hours in pH 9 buffer, 0.9 hours in demineralized water, 1.5 hours for pH 4 buffer, and 1.8 hours in pH 7 buffer (always mean of two separate hydrolysis samples).

Details on results:
Within the first couple of minutes about half and more of the amount of test item dosed was already hydrolysed to form free benzoic acid. This phase was noted as a 1st phase of an obviously bi-phasic kinetic, whereby the 1st phase half-life of the test item was estimated to be
less than 6 to 7 minutes for demineralised water and the pH 4 buffer, for the pH 7 and pH 9
buffer the 1st phase half-life was estimated to be shorter than 2 minutes.
The following table summarizes the half-lives of the slower, 2nd phase. These half-life times
were obtained by applying 1st order kinetics and range from about 0.4 hours in pH 9 buffer,
0.9 hours in demineralized water, 1.5 hours for pH 4 buffer, and 1.8 hours in pH 7 buffer
(always mean of two separate hydrolysis samples).

Conclusions:
Within the first couple of minutes about half and more of the amount of test item dosed was
already hydrolysed to form free benzoic acid. This phase was noted as a 1st phase of an obviously bi-phasic kinetic, whereby the 1st phase half-life of the test item was estimated to be
less than 6 to 7 minutes for demineralised water and the pH 4 buffer, for the pH 7 and pH 9
