- The pseudo-first order rate constant (kobs) for each test temperature was determined from the plots of the natural logarithm of the concentration versus time. Applying the Arrhenius equation the rate constant k and half-life were calculated at 20 °C from the plot of ln k versus 1/T.
- Preliminary study:
- Based on the results of the preliminary test (please refer to IUCLID section 5.1.2) the hydrolysis rate of the test substance was found to be 32 % at pH 4, 89 % at pH 7 and >99 % at pH 9 after 5 days at 50 °C. Based on the results obtained, the test substance was considered as hydrolytically unstable at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 under the conditions investigated and the subsequent full test was initiated.
- Test performance:
- Test solutions were prepared by adding 200 µL of Stock Solution II to 20 mL of the buffer solutions (pH = 4, pH = 7, pH = 9) in screw cap headspace vials. Before vials were closed oxygen was removed by blowing nitrogen into the tubes. Acetonitrile content of the test solutions was 1 % (v/v). Nominal starting concentration test item in the buffer solutions was 0.2 mg/mL around 1.5 mM.
SPE tubes were conditioned with 3 mL of tetrahydrofuran, then 3 mL methanol and 3 mL ultrapure water. Then 20 mL of the test solution (the whole amount of the vial) was loaded to the packing together with 0.5 mL Internal Standard Stock Solution. Then it was dried. The cartridges were washed with 1 mL ultrapure water. The test item was eluted with 5 mL of acetonitrile. The eluate was analysed by GC. - Transformation products:

- Conclusions:
- The calculated half lives of the hydrolysis reactions at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 are as follows:

A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Part C.7 and OECD test guideline 111 to determine the hydrolysis of the test substance as a function of pH. The tier 1 test according to guideline was conducted and revealed that the test item is hydrolytically not stable at pH 4, 7 and 9. Thus, the subsequent Tier 2 test for the determination of the hydrolysis half-life was conducted. Hydrolysis was examined at three different pH values 4, 7 and 9 at three different temperatures: pH 4: 40, 50 and 60 ± 0.5 °C; pH 7: 30, 40 and 50 ± 0.5 °C; pH 9: 10, 20 and 30 ± 0.5 °C . The hydrolysis reaction was carried out using a dark thermostat to avoid photolytic effects. Three samples were analysed at the start of the experiments. Two separate tubes were analysed at each analytical occasion of hydrolysis test. One sample was taken from the control vessels. Samples are diluted or concentrated on SPE cartridges and then analysed by a GC – FID method in the presence of benzonitrile internal standard. The pseudo-first order rate constant (kobs) for each test temperature was determined from the plots of the natural logarithm of the concentration versus time. Applying the Arrhenius equation the rate constant k and half-life were calculated at 20 °C for pH 4 = 8.5E-5 h-1 and 8122 h, respectively, for pH 7 = 8.8E-4 h-1 and 784 h, respectively and for pH 9 = 0.0217 h-1 and 32 h, respectively.

Additional information
Key study
A study was conducted according to Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 Part C.7 and OECD test guideline 111 to determine the hydrolysis of the test substance as a function of pH. The tier 1 test according to guideline was conducted and revealed that the test item is hydrolytically not stable at pH 4, 7 and 9. Thus, the subsequent Tier 2 test for the determination of the hydrolysis half-life was conducted. Hydrolysis was examined at three different pH values 4, 7 and 9 at three different temperatures: pH 4: 40, 50 and 60 ± 0.5 °C; pH 7: 30, 40 and 50 ± 0.5 °C; pH 9: 10, 20 and 30 ± 0.5 °C . The hydrolysis reaction was carried out using a dark thermostat to avoid photolytic effects. Three samples were analysed at the start of the experiments. Two separate tubes were analysed at each analytical occasion of hydrolysis test. One sample was taken from the control vessels. Samples are diluted or concentrated on SPE cartridges and then analysed by a GC – FID method in the presence of benzonitrile internal standard. The pseudo-first order rate constant (kobs) for each test temperature was determined from the plots of the natural logarithm of the concentration versus time. Applying the Arrhenius equation the rate constant k and half-life were calculated at 20 °C for pH 4 = 8.5E-5 h-1 and 8122 h, respectively, for pH 7 = 8.8E-4 h-1 and 784 h, respectively and for pH 9 = 0.0217 h-1 and 32 h, respectively.
Supporting study
The hydrolysis of the test item was assessed in accordance with the OECD guideline 111 and the EU method C.7 in a preliminary test. The hydrolysis of the test item in different aqueous buffer solutions (pH = 4, 7 and 9) at 50 °C was investigated using GC. The content of test item in the different pH buffer samples was determined at the beginning and the end of the test periods. Six samples were analysed at the start of the study. Based on the measured concentration the hydrolysis of the test item was determined to be 32 % at pH = 4; 89 % at pH = 7 and >99 % at pH = 9. Based on the results obtained, test item can be considered as hydrolytically unstable at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 under the conditions investigated. No observations were made which case doubt on the validity of the study results.
