At each test point 500 μL of the hydrolysis test solution was mixed and diluted with 500 μL derivatization agent (solution of dibutylamine in acetonitrile).

The concentration of the test item and the hydrolysis product in the sample solutions was determined by HPLC-MS/MS at defined time intervals. As the test item was expected to undergo very fast hydrolysis in aqueous media, the test points were set within short time intervals (each after approx. 12 – 20 s). At each test point individual samples were prepared at which the reactive NCO functions of the test item were derivatized with dibutylamine.

The concentration of the test item after approx. 150 min is determined to be < 10 % of the initial value. The test item is therefore considered to be hydrolytically unstable in demineralized water at 20 °C.

According to OECD 111 Guideline a sterility test was conducted at the end of > 90 % hydrolysis. No microbes (colonies) were found. Therefore biotic degradation can be excluded.

Half-life time: 37 s (mean of two determinations)

QUALITY CRITERIA

Recovery

The recovery of the analytical method was checked during the hydrolysis study by analyzing an independent control solution for verification of the calibration containing the test item and TRIDA at a concentration of 10 μg/L. The control solution was analyzed on the days of application directly before and also immediately after analyzing the test solutions: see table below (Recovery of the test item and hydrolysis product TRIDA)

Results of the solutions for verification of the calibration show stability of the chromatographic system. Recoveries of the test item TRIDI and the hydrolysis product TRIDA in the range from approx. 103 % to 117 % and relative standard deviations of 1.2 % and 4.2 % indicate a satisfactory repeatability and precision of the method applied to quantify the test item concentrations over the test duration.

Sensitivity

Regarding the chromatogram of the concentration level of 2 μg/L used for calibration the analytical method is sufficiently sensitive to quantify test item concentrations at least down to 10 % or less of the initial concentration used in the hydrolysis experiment.

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
Half-life time: 37 s (mean of two determinations)
Hydrolysis rate constant: k = 0.0187 s-1 (mean of two determinations)
Executive summary:

The tests were performed based on OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals, Section 1 – Physical-Chemical Properties, OECD 111, Council Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, Guideline Part C – Methods for the Determination of Ecotoxicity, C.7. “Abiotic Degradation: Hydrolysis as a Function of pH” in a GLP study.

As the test item was expected to undergo fast hydrolysis in aqueous media the hydrolysis behavior was investigated at 20 °C in demineralized water up to a degradation of > 90 %. The stability was monitored by HPLC analysis with MS/MS-detection.

The concentration of the test item in the hydrolysis test solutions was determined by HPLC-MS/MS at defined time intervals after derivatization of the NCO function with dibutylamine.

Additionally, the formation of the expected major hydrolysis product 1,3,5-triisopropyl-2,4-diaminobenzene (TRIDA), M = 234 g/mol, CAS no.: 6318-09-8 was monitored over time.

Analytical result:

For the test item TRIDI abiotic degradation > 90 % was observed within 3 min at 20 °C in demineralized water.

The concentration of the test item after approx. 3 min is determined to be < 5 % of the initial value.

The test item is therefore considered to be hydrolytically unstable in demineralized water at 20 °C.

According to OECD 111 Guideline a sterility test was conducted at the end of > 90 % hydrolysis. No microbes (colonies) were found. Therefore biotic degradation can be excluded.

The following half-life time and hydrolysis rate were calculated for 20 °C:

Half-life time: 37 seconds (mean of two determinations)

Hydrolysis rate constant: k = 0.0187 s-1 (mean of two determinations)

Monitoring and quantification of hydrolysis products:

1,3,5-triisopropyl-2,4-diaminobenzene (TRIDA), CAS no.: 6318-09-8, was expected as major hydrolysis product and monitored over time in the hydrolysis test solutions. After approx. 15 min hydrolysis time the concentration of TRIDA in the test solutions was determined to be about 23 μg/L.

As the parent substance was applied at a concentration of 40 μg/L in the test solutions, TRIDA can certainly be assessed as most predominant hydrolysis product. Polymeric or oligomeric ureas as potential minor hydrolysis products could not be determined as they are assumed to be insoluble in water.
