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 40 % at Day 28. Test tem is not readily biodegradable. The test item had biodegraded by 43 % at Day 60, indicating that the test item is partially biodegradable.
- Results with reference substance:
- The biodegradation percentage of the reference compound, sodium acetate, at Day 14 was 91 %.
- Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Interpretation of results:
- not readily biodegradable
- Conclusions:
- Reaction Mass of (4R)-4-isopropenyl-1-methylcyclohexene and (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene was biodegraded by 40 % at Day 28 in the Closed Bottle test (Table 1). In the prolonged Closed Bottle test this test substance was biodegraded by 43 % 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. A plateau of biodegradation was not reached at the end of the test indicating that the test item could be degraded completely in time.
The validity of the test is demonstrated by an endogenous respiration of 0.9 mg/L at Day 28 (Table 1). 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:
OECD 301D (2017) - The biodegradability of reaction mass of (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene and (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexen 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 2.1 mg/L)
Bottles containing river water, nutrients and sodium acetate with silica gel (reference substance at a concentration of 6.7 mg/L)
Duplicate bottles were removed for oxygen concentration/ consumption analysis from each test group at Day 0, 7, 14 and 28 ( extended to Day 42 and 60 for the test item group).
Oxygen consumption of the test item at Day 28 and Day 60 was 2.6 and 2.8 mg/L, respectively. With a ThOD of 3.1 mg/L, these consumption values equated to degradation values of 40 and 43 % at Day 28 and 60, respectively. 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.
This closed bottle biodegradation study is acceptable and satifies the validity criteria outlined in OECD 301D.

Additional information
In a study conducted in accordance with OECD 301D, the biodegradability of the test item 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 2.1 mg/L)
Bottles containing river water, nutrients and sodium acetate with silica gel (reference substance at a concentration of 6.7 mg/L)
Duplicate bottles were removed for oxygen concentration/ consumption analysis from each test group at Day 0, 7, 14 and 28 ( extended to Day 42 and 60 for the test item group).
Oxygen consumption of the test item at Day 28 and Day 60 was 2.6 and 2.8 mg/L, respectively. With a ThOD of 3.1 mg/L, these consumption values equated to degradation values of 40 and 43 % at Day 28 and 60, respectively. 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.
This closed bottle biodegradation study is acceptable and satifies the validity criteria outlined in OECD 301D.
