Test material
- Reference substance name:
- Reaction mass of 9-icosyl-9-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 9-icosyl-9-phosphabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane
- EC Number:
- 915-206-4
- Molecular formula:
- C28H55P
- IUPAC Name:
- Reaction mass of 9-icosyl-9-phosphabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane and 9-icosyl-9-phosphabicyclo[4.2.1]nonane
- Details on test material:
- - Name of test material (as cited in study report): RM17
- Substance type: No data
- Physical state: White waxy solid at room temperature, somewhat resembling candle wax
- Analytical purity: 89.2%
- Impurities (identity and concentrations):
Light ends 0.2%
RC 78H 0.2%
1-eicosene <0.1%
RC 716 <0.1%
RC 716 oxide 0.1%
Unknown (3) 2.7%
Unknown (6) 2.8%
RM 17 oxide 4.7%
- Composition of test material, percentage of components: No data
- Isomers composition: No data
- Purity test date: 89.2%
- Lot/batch No.: Unable to define samples in terms of batch number
- Expiration date of the lot/batch: No data
- Stability under test conditions: No data
- Storage condition of test material: No data
- Other: The sample actually used to dose the animals was not analysed at the time of dosing. Subsequent analysis of the test material stored in an unsealed drum, however, showed that approximately 40% of the tertiary phosphines had been converted to oxides during several months storage. It is therefore likely that a significant amount of the test material used in the study may have been converted to the oxide during heating of the sample in preparation for dosing.

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- ca. 4 other: g/kg
- Remarks on result:
- other: Result probably misleading as test substance solidifed on skin and could not be removed
- Mortality:
- One death occured at 4 g/kg within 2 days of dosing following cessation of eating and subdued behaviour.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Animals dosed with 4 g/kg showed skin irritation and were subdued for several days after dosing, but the lower dose animals were unaffected.
Any other information on results incl. tables
The molten RM`7 solidified rapidly when applied to the skin and was impossible to remove later without recourse to unacceptable methods. Consequently to quote an acute LD50 value of approximately 4 g/kg is probably misleading since it is impossible to estimate the period of application of the test material.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The LD50 value is probably misleading since it was impossible to estimate the period of application to the skin.
