Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Hydrolysis
The hydrolytic stability of TMEDA (N,N,N’,N’-tetramethylethylenediamine) was determined at pH values normally found in the environment (pH 4-9) via a GLP-compliant test performed according to OECD Guideline 111 (Hydrolysis as a function of pH).
Quantitative analysis of the test item in the study was performed according to a validated analytical method using ultra-performance liquid chromatographic with mass spectrometric detection (UPLC-MS). The test item was spiked to the buffer solutions (pH 4, pH 7 and pH 9) at a target concentration of 2.00 mg/L using a spiking solution in water. Test samples were taken immediately after preparation (t=0) and after 5 days and the concentration of the test item in the test samples was determined.
Results from the preliminary test (Tier 1) showed that at each pH value <10% hydrolysis of the test item was observed after 5 days, thereby demonstrating that the half-life time of the test item at 25°C is >1 year. According to the guideline, performance of the main study (Tier 2) was not required and it is concluded that TMEDA is hydrolytically stable.
Additional information
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
