Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
The parent compound 2-ethylhexyl chloroformate rapidly hydrolyses to 2-ethylhexanol, HCl and CO2.
Adsorption to soil or sediments of the hydrolysis product 2-ethylhexanol is not to be expected
The hydrolysis product 2-ethylhexanol has a low potential for evaporation
Additional information
Adsorption
The estimated log Koc values of the hydrolysis product 2-ethylhexanol (CAS 104-76-7) indicate that adsorption to soils or sediments is not expected (EPISuite, KOCWIN v2.00, BASF SE, 2021).
Henry's Law Constant
The Henry's Law Constant (HLC) of 1733 Pa m³/mol estimated for 2-ethylhexyl chloroformate (EPISuite, HENRYWIN v3.20, BASF SE, 2021) indicates high potential for evaporation. However, it is rapidly hydrolysed to 2-ethylhexanol, CO2 and HCl. The estimated HLC for 2-ethylhexanol of 1.54 Pa m³/mol at 25 °C indicates low evaporation potential (EPISuite, HENRYWIN v3.20, BASF SE, 2021).
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.
