Details on results:
At all pH values only signals of n-butylamine could be observed after the first measurement. There were no signals of aminosilane detectable. Therefore it was concluded that hydrolysis was already completed when the first spectrum was measured.

Because hydrolysis was finished after the first 1H NMR measurement (about 5 minutes after mixing the test sample), no exact half-life time or reaction rate could be calculated. Since the signals of the aminosilane should be detectable for at least 3 half-life times (intensity after t1/2: 50%, after 2x t1/2: 25%, after 3x t1/2: 12.5%), the half-life time was estimated for all pH values to be < 2 min (5 min / 3 = 1.7 min ~ 2 min).
Conclusions:
Hydrolysis half-lives of < 2 minutes were estimated at pH4, 7 and 9 and at 25 °C in a reliable study conducted according to EU test method C7.

Description of key information

Hydrolysis half-life: < 2 minutes at 25°C and at pH4 , pH 7 and pH 9 (EU test method C7)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The test substance hydrolyses very rapidly (instantaneously). In a reliable study conducted according to EU test method C.7, the hydrolysis half-life was estimated to be less than 2 minutes at pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9 and at 25°C.

At those pH values only signals of n-butylamine could be observed after the first 1H NMR measurement. There were no signals of aminosilane detectable. Therefore, it was concluded that hydrolysis was already completed when the first spectrum was measured.

Because hydrolysis was finished after the first 1H NMR measurement (about 5 minutes after mixing the test sample), no exact half-life time or reaction rate could be calculated. Since the signals of the aminosilane should be detectable for at least 3 half-life times (intensity after t1/2: 50%, after 2x t1/2: 25%, after 3x t1/2: 12.5%), the half-life time was estimated for all pH values to be < 2 min (5 min / 3 = 1.7 min ~ 2 min).

The half-lives are for full hydrolysis and formation of the final hydrolysis products.

The final products of hydrolysis are methylsilanetriol (1 mole, CAS No. 2445 -53 -6) and n-butylamine (3 moles, CAS No. 109 -73 -9).
