After withdrawal of the oxygen electrode the medium collected flowed back into the BOD bottle, followed by removal of the funnel and closing of the BOD bottle

STATISTICAL METHODS:
Calculation of endogenous respiration;
The endogenous respiration (oxygen depletion in the control) was calculated as follows; Oxygen depletion (endogenous respiration) (mg/L) = Mc (day 0) - Mc (day 28) Mc is the mean oxygen level in the control bottle with river water.
Calculation of the theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD);
The ThODs of the test substance, and sodium acetate were calculated from their molecular formulae and molecular weights as follows;
ThOD NH3 (mg O2 / mg) = 16 (2C x 0.5 x (H x Cl x 3N) x 3S x 2.5P x 0.5Na x O) / MW
Calculation of the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
Provided that the oxygen concentrations in all bottles at the start of the test were equal, the amounts of oxygen consumed in test and reference compound bottles were calculated as follows:
Oxygen consumptionn (mg/L) by test substance = Mcs - Mt
Oxygen consumptionn (mg/L) by reference compound = Mc - Ma
Mc or cs is the mean oxygen level in the control bottles with and without silica gel n-days after the start of the test.
Mt or a is the mean oxygen concentration in the bottles containing the test substance (t) or the reference compound, sodium acetate (a), n-days after the start of the test.
The BOD mg/mg of the test substance and sodium acetate was calculated by dividing the oxygen consumption by the concentration of the test substance and sodium acetate in the closed bottle, respectively.
Calculation of the biodegradation percentages;
The biodegradation was calculated as the ratio of the BOD to the theoretical demand (ThOD). - Reference substance:

- Details on results:
- Test item was biodegraded (based on ThOD) by 12 % at Day 28. Test tem is not readily biodegradable. The test item had biodegraded by 48 % at Day 60, indicating that the test item is partially biodegradable.
- Results with reference substance:
- Sodium acetate was biodegraded by 91 % at Day 14.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- Reaction mass of (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene and cis-1-methoxy-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexane was biodegraded by 12% at day 28 in the Closed Bottle test (Table I). In the prolonged Closed Bottle test this test substance was biodegraded by 48% at day 60. The test item should therefore not be classified as readily biodegradable. However, the biodegradation reached at day 60 demonstrates that this substance is partially biodegradable.
The validity of the test is demonstrated by an endogenous respiration of 0.9 mg/L at Day 28. Furthermore, the differences of the replicate values at Day 28 were less than 20%. The biodegradation percentage of the reference compound, sodium acetate, at Day 14 was 91. Finally, the validity of the test is shown with oxygen concentrations remaining at >0.5 mg/L in all bottles over the test period. - Executive summary:
The biodegradability of reaction mass of (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene and cis-1-methoxy-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexane was assessed in an OECD 301D Closed Bottle test.
The test substance was exposed to a relatively low numbers of microorganisms present in river water, under aerobic conditions for a period of at least 28 days, with the test substance being the sole carbon and energy source.
Four test groups were prepared;
Bottles containing river water and nutrients with silica gel (carrier substance)
Bottles containing river water and nutrients only (control)
Bottles containing river water, nutrients and test item with silica gel (prepared at a concetration of 2 mg/L)
Bottles containing river water, nutrients and sodium acetate with silica gel (reference substance)
Duplicate bottles were removed for theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD) analysis from each test group at Day 0, 7, 14 and 28 (42 and 60 also for test item group).
The calculated theoretical oxygen demands (ThOD) of the test item and reference substance was 3.0 g/g (mean result of the two known constituents) and 0.8 g/g, respectively, at Day 28. This equated to biodegradation values of 12 and 91 %, respectively. In the prolonged Closed Bottle test this test substance was biodegraded by 48% at Day 60. The test item should therefore not be classified as readily biodegradable. However, the biodegradation reached at day 60 demonstrates that this substance is partially biodegradable.

Description of key information
OECD 301D, 2017 - The biodegradability of reaction mass of (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene and cis-1-methoxy-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexane was assessed in an OECD 301D Closed Bottle test.
The test substance was exposed to a relatively low numbers of microorganisms present in river water, under aerobic conditions for a period of at least 28 days, with the test substance being the sole carbon and energy source.
Four test groups were prepared;
Bottles containing river water and nutrients with silica gel (carrier substance)
Bottles containing river water and nutrients only (control)
Bottles containing river water, nutrients and test item with silica gel (prepared at a concetration of 2 mg/L)
Bottles containing river water, nutrients and sodium acetate with silica gel (reference substance)
Duplicate bottles were removed for theoretical oxygen demand (ThOD) analysis from each test group at Day 0, 7, 14 and 28 (42 and 60 also for test item group).
The calculated theoretical oxygen demands (ThOD) of the test item and reference substance was 3.0 g/g (mean result of the two known constituents) and 0.8 g/g, respectively, at Day 28. This equated to biodegradation values of 12 and 91 %, respectively. In the prolonged Closed Bottle test this test substance was biodegraded by 48% at Day 60. The test item should therefore not be classified as readily biodegradable. However, the biodegradation reached at day 60 demonstrates that this substance is partially biodegradable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Biodegradation in water:
- under test conditions no biodegradation observed
Additional information
Based on the screening test data submitted (OECD 301D, extended to 60 days), the substance can not be concluded as not persistent. Biodegradation was <60 % ThOD at day 28 (not readily biodegradable) and day 60 (potentially persistent).
