Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
2,2,4,6,6-pentamethylheptane-4-thiol
EC Number:
296-714-7
EC Name:
2,2,4,6,6-pentamethylheptane-4-thiol
Cas Number:
93002-38-1
Molecular formula:
C12H26S
IUPAC Name:
2,2,4,6,6-pentamethylheptane-4-thiol
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in raw data sheet): Dodecylmerkaptan, but the test material was material as defined in section 1 (CAS 93002-38-1). Therefore the new CAS number 93002-38 was assigned.
