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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 921-577-3 | CAS number: 1174918-60-5
Phototransformation in air
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- phototransformation in air
- Type of information:
- migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- Up to 1985
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Non-GLP, non guideline study. Calculated data, published in peer review paper and was calculated in accordance with the TGD.
Data source
Reference
- Reference Type:
- publication
- Title:
- Kinetics and mechanisms of gas-phase reactions with the hydroxyl radical with organic compounds under atmospheric conditions
- Author:
- Atkinson, C
- Year:
- 1 985
- Bibliographic source:
- Chemistry Review. 85, 61-201.
Materials and methods
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- The author used data from other investigators. This data was generated using two methods: absolute and relative constant techniques. The author then applied a least squares analysis of degradation rate constants for organic chemicals by hydroxyl radicals developed by other investigators. This calculation was in accordance with the TGD
- GLP compliance:
- not specified
- Remarks:
- Not reported
Test material
- Reference substance name:
- 2-methylbutane
- EC Number:
- 201-142-8
- EC Name:
- 2-methylbutane
- Cas Number:
- 78-78-4
- Molecular formula:
- C5H12
- IUPAC Name:
- isopentane
- Details on test material:
- No data reported
Constituent 1
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Details on properties of test surrogate or analogue material (migrated information):
No data reported
Study design
- Estimation method (if used):
- Endpoint was calculated based on a rate constant of 3.5 E -12 and-OH radical concentration of 5 E5 molecules/cm3
- Details on light source:
- No data reported
- Details on test conditions:
- No data reported
Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- No data reported
- Test performance:
- No data reported
Dissipation half-life of parent compound
- DT50:
- 2.3 d
- Results with reference substance:
- No data reported
Any other information on results incl. tables
Based on a calculated rate constant of 7.38E-12 cm3 molecule-1sec-1, and a hydroxyl radical concentration of 5E5 molecule.cm-3
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The dissipation half-life of 2-methylbutane was calculated as 2.3 days
- Executive summary:
Measured data from author and other investigators were quality assessed and then used to develop rate constants for different chemicals. Therefore, this value represents a valid rate constant for 2 -methylbutane based on all valid studies at the time of publication. The half life of 2 -methylbutane is 2.3 days.
