IUPAC Name:
(E)-2-methyl-3-phenylprop-2-enal
Test material form:
liquid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
Test material was described with the generic name "alpha-methylcinnamaldehyde". As manufactured by Innospec, the product met the criteria of > 80% trans-isomer, supporting that the test material was the isomer better described as CAS 15174-47-7.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures
Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD50 of Alpha methyl cinnamic aldehyde was determined to be >5000 mg/Kg.
Executive summary:

In a key acute dermal toxicity study, the test material (Alpha methyl cinnamic aldehyde) was dermally administered to rabbits (10/dose) at a dose of 5000 mg/kg (5 g/kg).

 

No mortality was observed through the study period.

 

The acute dermal LD50 of Alpha methyl cinnamic aldehyde was therefore determined to be >5000 mg/kg.
