SAMPLE PREPARATION FOR NMR (NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE) AND MASS SPECTROMETRY MEASUREMENTS

NMR measurements were carried out by weighing 2 – 40 mg of sample and dissolving it in 600 µL of solvent mainly 50/50 v/v CDCl3/DMSO-D6. The samples were homogenised in an ultra-sonic bath, centrifuged at 1000 G, transferred to 5-mm NMR tubes and capped. 760 µL water samples from the Tier 1 hydrolysis tests were prepared by adding 40 µL DMSO/D2O-standard (0.1484% DMSO in D2O) and mixed.
ESI-MS / MSn (electrospray ionization and multidimensional mass spectrometry) measurements were carried out with 20 – 60 µg/mL solutions of the sample diluted in mainly 50/50 v/v CH2Cl2/acetonitrile. 100 µL water samples from the Tier 1 hydrolysis tests were prepared by adding 900 µL 50/50 acetonitrile/water and mixed.
All pulse sequences used were Bruker stand pulse sequences. 1H / 13C NMR chemical shifts were referenced to the residual solvent signal of DMSO-D6 (δ = 2.50 / 39.50 ppm).
Buffers:
Used to facilitate the preliminary determination of hydrolysis. CH2Cl2/CH3CN/NH3-NH4-buffer at pH 9 and 50°C, was used on a precipitate DR fraction to optimize detection of negative ions.
Estimation method (if used):
NMR and MS techniques were used to better estimate crude composition of the DS and DR fractions of Additiv 104.

Additiv 104 is practically insoluble in water. To conduct the screening test (Tier 1) for hydrolysis small amounts of sample were added to water to form an emulsion and pH and temperature adjusted. Thus, the mixtures were left stirring for 5-6 days at 50°C and sampled daily to determine rate and extent of hydrolysis at pH 4, 7 and 9. A deuterated solvent mixture with selectively higher polarity proved critical in the analytical verification step.

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Additiv 104, dialysis fractions and Additiv 104 starting materials have been further characterised, however there remains some materials at greater than 0.1% that have not been formally characterised.

Additiv 104 composition: Oligomers of Ethomeen (42%), Ethomeen- molybdates (28%), Nynas NS 100 (26%), Ethomeen Anhydride (2%) and Ethomeen- polyglycol-ethers (PEG 1 – 13) (1%). The overall composition is in good agreement with the previous report from BP (IAR0109, Feb 2013). The Fraunhofer ITEM study No 15N17556 herein provides a more detailed breakdown of the un-complexed Ethomeen components, and proposes additional (although still tentative) structures for the Ethomeen molybdate complexes, which are likely to be a mixture of different structures both straight chain and cyclic with molecular weights between 500 - 4000 g/mol. There is significant challenge in formally identifying the complexes and thus the structures described in the preliminary report are working proposals. Preliminary results acquired by cryoscopy propose a tentative structure of the main compound of Ethomeen molybdates, with a molecular weight of 3460 ± 300 g/mol, which differed from what has been previously proposed by BP (IAR0109, 2013).

Preliminary hydrolysis:
• pH 4 – milky white suspension with a ring of dark red greasy agglomerate; 8% Mo hydrolysis
• pH 7 – milky white suspension with dark red greasy agglomerate; 16% Mo hydrolysis
• pH 9 – Clear solution with colourless greasy agglomerate; 99% Mo hydrolysis


Test performance:
The preliminary results indicate that the test performed within expectations and that based on the pH and the critical polarity of the solvents used a step-wise hydrolysis was observed.
Transformation products:
not specified
Remarks:
Pending further work under final study
Details on hydrolysis and appearance of transformation product(s):
Additiv 104 is practically insoluble in water. To conduct the screening test (Tier 1) for hydrolysis small amounts of sample were added to water to form an emulsion and pH and temperature adjusted. Thus, the mixtures were left stirring for 5-6 days at 50°C and sampled daily to determine rate and extent of hydrolysis at pH 4, 7 and 9. A deuterated solvent mixture with selectively higher polarity proved critical in the analytical verification step:
• pH 4 – milky white suspension with a ring of dark red greasy agglomerate. 8% Mo hydrolysis
• pH 7 – milky white suspension with dark red greasy agglomerate. 16% Mo hydrolysis
• pH 9 – Clear solution with colourless greasy agglomerate. 99% Mo hydrolysis

Hydrolysis rates appear to increase with time, which is explained by the proposal that molybdenum exists in different Mo-Mo and Mo-ethomeen structures in terminal and internal positions, in cyclic and linear structures. The concentration of ethomeen in solution should be proportional to molybdenum; however, this is not observed. It is proposed that ethomeen partitions into the oil phase in experiments.

Likewise, in a Tier 1 preliminary hydrolysis test at pH 9 (50°C/5 days) on the red-ochre precipitate isolated from the DR fraction (representing Additiv 104 with as much oil removed as possible) the precipitate was not fully soluble. After 6 days the red colour of the Mo complex had been removed to form a colourless, but slightly milky white emulsion with 94% Mo hydrolysis – very similar to the experiments on the whole Additiv 104. After 6 days only 2% of the Ethomeen was observed in solution. The remaining Ethomeen was found after concentrating down the mixture. It was proposed that the ethomeen materials were therefore dissolved in an oily phase of Di-ethomeen-ether, since an emulsion was again formed with greasy material on the sides of the vessel. The results of the hydrolysis of this DR fraction suggest that it would be more advantageous for the final OECD TG 111 test to use the whole Additiv 104 as opposed to the purified Ethomeen-molybdates.

With regard to the observed hydrolysis, the following reaction sequences can be assumed. The non-mono-exponential hydrolysis could occur from the slower release of di-ethomeen-ether whose position should be at the end of a chain since it is generated at the end of synthesis. As a consequence the ethomeen-molybdates have three different kinds of molecule connections that can be hydrolyzed: firstly molybdate-molybdate, secondly molybdate-ethomeen and thirdly ethomeen-ethomeen. In Addition it is assumed that their hydrolysis rate slows down according to this order. At the beginning only 9% of the open-chain molecules with di-molybdate quickly hydrolyse, then the di-molybdates are hydrolyzed into cyclic or chain molecules without the release of molybdate, and finally molybdate is released by hydrolysis of molybdate-ethomeen.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
Preliminary results, subject to further confirmation
Conclusions:
Based on the feasibility study, evidence to date suggests that hydrolysis occurs as follows: first, the open-chain molecules with di-molybdate hydrolyse without the release of molybdate; secondly, the di-molybdates in the more stable cyclic conformation hydrolyse without the release of molybdate, and; finally, molybdate is released by hydrolysis of molybdate-ethomeen. Ethomeen-Ethomeen molecules are the last to hydrolyse.
Executive summary:

The Registrant, BP France SA, of Additiv 104, commissioned the analytical department of Fraunhofer Institute for Toxicology and Experimental Medicine (ITEM), in Hannover Germany to carry out the required study. This institution was chosen due to its broad experience in hydrolysis studies, including for UVCB substances. Other laboratories were approached but they declined the work indicating that in their opinion this study was not scientifically and technically feasible.

 

The study design for these preliminary investigations consisted of:

·        Determination of the composition of the starting materials in Additiv 104

·        Determination of the composition of the DS and DR fractions of Additiv 104

·        Estimation of the composition of Additiv 104

·        Preliminary Tier 1 hydrolysis tests according to OECD TG 111;

o  Hydrolysis of Additiv 104 at pH 4, 7 and 9 (50°C/5 days)

o  Hydrolysis of DR red-ochre isolated precipitate at pH9 (50°C/5 days)

 

Determination of the composition of the starting materials in Additiv 104

The decision letter (SEV-412-780-3-1) mentioned above is based on knowledge derived from the BP analyses (Additiv 104 analysis for REACH registration, IAR 0109, 2013). The BP study suggested that Additiv 104 consists of two fractions that were separated by dialysis into a liquid (dialysate, DS 66.5%) and solid (dialysis residue, DR 33.2%) fraction. This result has been confirmed in this preliminary study. The elaborate characterization of the individual fractions (DR and DS) proved to be an appropriate approach, showing an agreement in the overall composition, but impurities of the starting materials and individual compounds, which are considered elementary for the envisaged hydrolysis test, were only partially elucidated. Hence there are reasons to further characterize the starting materials and impurities.

Determination of the composition of the Dialysate (DS) and Dialysis Residue (DR) fractions of Additiv 104

In this preliminary study the two fractions (DS and DR) were further characterized by NMR and MS to better estimate a crude composition, and to better specify the main components of Additiv 104. The DS fraction mainly consists of 59% diethylamino-derivates and 40% Nynas NS 100. About 1% corresponds to ethomeen-molybdates (30% Mo), from the DR fraction. Recrystallization of DR revealed that an additional 15% DS remains in the DR, and a red-ochre compound, the ethomeen-molybdates, could be isolated. This resulting red-ochre compound can thus be considered as more purified ethomeen-molybdates (purified DR fraction). However, at this stage of the study it still remains unclear which exact molecular structure(s) the ethomeen-molybdates actually have a Mo-content of 30% and likely account for the reddish colour of the product. This reddish mass melts with simultaneous pyrolysis at 218°C and a molar weight of 3460(±300) g/M as roughly determined by cryoscopy. The molecular weight has yet to be confirmed by mass spectrometry.

Estimation of the composition of Additiv 104

The detailed analysis of the starting compounds and the DS and DR fractions gave a much more detailed picture of the total composition of Additiv 104. The main compounds detected were approx. 21% ethomeen-dimer (di-oleic), with 28% different ethomeen-molybdates (in contrast to the MSDS >50%), and with about 26% paraffinic, naphthenic and aromatic from Nynas NS 100.This newly determined composition is roughly consistent with the data of the BP study.

Preliminary Tier 1 hydrolysis tests according to OECD TG 111;

o   Hydrolysis of Additiv 104 at pH 4, 7 and 9 (50°C/5 days)

Preliminary tests have shown that, in contrast to the recommendations from decision letter (SEV-412-780-3-1), hydrolysis of the whole Additiv 104 is possible. Furthermore, these recommendations are based on a more up-to-date composition of Additiv 104. This fact alone justifies to test for preliminary hydrolysis on the full product. These preliminary tests were conducted at 50°C and the main solvent used for NMR was CDCl3/DMSO-D6instead of pure CDCl3due to the higher polarity. The higher polarity was considered key to the additional envisaged NMR monitoring of the hydrolysis. Primarily the hydrolysis was quantified by molybdate ion determination using ion chromatography (IC). Accordingly after 5 days at 50°C, hydrolysis progression was calculated to be at pH 9, 96%, at pH 7, 16%, and at pH 4, 8%.

The hydrolysis proceeded stepwise at different rates due to different activities at possible cleavage sites.Less polar compounds, including the ethomeen-molybdates were confined in the oily phase whereas the molybdate ions were fully released into the aqueous phase. The molybdate release revealed, however, not the expected pseudo first order reaction course, but rather a multistep kinetics phenomenon. It is assumed that phase separation (oily and aqueous) may interfere with the course of reaction.

o   Hydrolysis of DR red-ochre isolated precipitate at pH 9 (50°C/5 days)

Simplified hydrolysis conditions with respect to the phase formation should be possible by the use of the DR fraction, as per recommendations of thedecision letter (SEV-412-780-3-1). Unfortunately, this was not the case and the hydrolysis proceeded in an unpredictably complex manner.The hydrolytic test of the purified DR fraction (red-ochre precipitate) in ammonia/ammonium buffer at pH 9 and 50°C of the purified ethomeen-molybdates (red-ochre compound) in 15/85 CD3CN/H2O showed a 1 : 6 ratio in di-ethomeen-ether/ethomeen release, in addition to 1.5% molybdate.The discovery of thedi-ethomeen-etherprovides a deeper insight into the synthesis ofAdditiv 104.Furthermore, the release of molybdate occurred at different reaction rates when compared with the previous experiments. In comparison with Additiv 104 the hydrolysis proceeded initially 10 times slower but ended up with nearly the same reaction velocity. It seems as if constituents in Additiv104 support the hydrolysis of the ethomeen-molybdates, which contradicts the assumed reaction course. Thus, it could be advantageous for the OECD tests to use Additiv 104 instead of purified ethomeen-molybdates.These and still other remarkable deviations show that the processes during the hydrolysis of theethomeen-molybdates containing speciesare not yet fully understood.

·        Planned next tasks to accomplish the requirements under OECD TG 111

  • Improved characterization of the higher molecular (3460±300 g/mol) main ethomeen-molybdate compounds
  • Improved use of organic modifier (solvent combinations) to enable the use of NMR monitoring for the detection of hydrolysis compounds
  • Establishment of feasible hydrolysis tests with Additiv 104 or red-ochre precipitate (reference ethomeen-molybdate compounds) at pH 4, 7 and 9, using IC for Mo release detection (final decision for suitable test compound required)
  • Preparation of Study Plan for the hydrolysis test of according to OECD111 guideline and under GLP conditions
  • Identification of the hitherto unknown di-ethylamine compounds
