Study design

Analytical monitoring:
yes
Details on sampling:
- Sampling intervals for the parent/transformation products: hydrolysis samples were collected from each pH after the test solution was placed into the test vessels (0h) and at 2h, 5h, 1d, 5d.
- Sampling method:At each sampling interval for each buffer test system, duplicate samples were taken and analyzed by HPLC.
- Sampling intervals/times for pH measurements:The pH of the buffer solutions were measured after preparation and sterile filtration. The pH was also documented after sample fortification of pH 4, 7 and 9 buffer test solution on Day 0 and Day 5.
- Sampling intervals/times for sterility check:Sterility was determined at Day 0 for sterile pH 4, 7 and 9 buffer test systems and at day 5 for pH 4, 7 and 9 buffer test system. Sterility was checked by serial dilution plate technique. Agar plates (Nutrient agar for bacteria) were used to determine sterility of buffer test systems.
-Samples were analysed on the sampling day

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
Analysis of pH 4 buffer solution at Day 5 showed >90% of the recovered test item compared to the 0 Hour analysis.
Analysis of pH 7 buffer solution at Day 5 showed >90% of the recovered test item compared to the 0 Hour analysis.
Analysis of pH 9 buffer solution showed >90% of the recovered test item compared to the 0 Hour analysis.
Benzenesulphonyl chloride (Provichem 0203) was hydrolytically stable at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 based on the preliminary result. So definitive study was not conducted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
This study demonstrated that Benzenesulphonyl chloride (Provichem 0203) was hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9. Based on the results of this study, hydrolysis will not be a route of degradation of Benzenesulphonyl chloride (Provichem 0203) in the environment.
