Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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:
acute toxicity: other routes
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
disregarded due to major methodological deficiencies
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: HSDB data (peer reviewed as stated there); original data source from Lewis (1996) could not be reviewed. No details on background data of LDLo value delivered (materials, methods, results).

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Diethyl carbonate
EC Number:
203-311-1
EC Name:
Diethyl carbonate
Cas Number:
105-58-8
Molecular formula:
C5H10O3

diethyl carbonate

Test animals

Species:
rat

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
subcutaneous

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
8 500 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: original as in data source (exposure via subcutaneous route): LD50 Rat scu 8500 mg/kg

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The high LD50 Rat scu 8500 mg/kg suggests a low acute toxicity of diethyl carbonate via the subcutaneous exposure route.
