Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
For diethyl carbonate no valid experimental data on the metabolism in vivo are available. Therefore, the TIMES software platform (Version 2.27.2) has been used for predicting the most likely metabolites of diethyl carbonate. The predicted metabolites by using the model “in vivo rat liver v.03” are carbon dioxide and the corresponding alcohol (ethanol), which in the following is further oxidized to the corresponding aldehyde.
In an older study with limited documentation, the incubation of diethyl carbonate with homogenates of bovine kidney or mucous membrane from the small intestine resulted in an enzymatic cleavage of the substance.

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
