Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
2-(tetrahydro-5-methyl-5-vinyl-2-furyl)propan-2-ol
EC Number:
262-038-6
EC Name:
2-(tetrahydro-5-methyl-5-vinyl-2-furyl)propan-2-ol
Cas Number:
60047-17-8
Molecular formula:
C10H18O2
IUPAC Name:
2-(5-methyl-5-vinyltetrahydrofuran-2-yl)propan-2-ol
Test material form:
other: Liquid
Details on test material:
Batch 9000378938
Purity 98% (sum of both isomers)

Please note that although the substance is described in the report with the IUPAC name: 2-METHYL-2-VINYL-5-(1-HYDROXY-1-METHYLETHYL)TETRA-HYDROFURAN related to the CAS number 1365-19-1, recent analytical data had been determined the substance to be a multi-constituent 2-(tetrahydro-5-methyl-5-vinyl-2-furyl)propan-2-ol related to the CAS number 60047-17-8.

As the chemical manufacturing process has not changed since the report was written, the recent analytical information is relevant to the batch which was tested.

Study design

Oxygen conditions:
aerobic
Inoculum or test system:
activated sludge, domestic, non-adapted
Duration of test (contact time):
28 d
Initial test substance concentration
Initial conc.:
100 mg/L

Results and discussion

% Degradation
Parameter:
% degradation (O2 consumption)
Value:
ca. 84
Sampling time:
28 d
Remarks on result:
other: in the test conditions (22°C)
Details on results:
Biodegradation starts on Day 7 and reaches 75% at the end of the 10-day window (days 7 to 17). At the concentration used in th test (100 mg/l), LINALOOL OXIDE is not inhibitory to the micro-organism.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Interpretation of results:
readily biodegradable
Conclusions:
Thus, LINALOOL OXIDE should be regarded as readily biodegradable according to this test.
