2-Butanone, 1,3,4-trihydroxy-

Oxidising properties

Link to relevant study record(s)

Reference

Endpoint:

oxidising liquids

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with oxidising properties and hence, the classification procedure does not need to be applied

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

reference to other study

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Expert Statement

No remarks

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

(S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one consists for 80% of the active ingredient and for 20% of water. Water is known to be not oxidizing.
Examination of the structural formula of the active ingredient (see Figure 1) establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the substance is incapable of burning, when mixed with cellulose, at a higher or equal rate compared with the maximum burning rate of a reference mixture of cellulose and barium nitrate. The substance does contain oxygen, however, the oxygen is chemically bonded to carbon atoms.
In conclusion, (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one has no oxidizing properties.

Executive summary:

(S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one consists for 80% of the active ingredient and for 20% of water. Water is known to be not oxidizing.

Examination of the structural formula of the active ingredient (see Figure 1) establishes beyond reasonable doubt that the substance is incapable of burning, when mixed with cellulose, at a higher or equal rate compared with the maximum burning rate of a reference mixture of cellulose and barium nitrate. The substance does contain oxygen, however, the oxygen is chemically bonded to carbon atoms.

In conclusion, (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one has no oxidizing properties.

Description of key information

Erythrulose consists for 80% of the active ingredient and for 20% of water. Water is known to be not oxidizing.
