Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
3,3'-(methylimino)bispropiononitrile
EC Number:
216-305-9
EC Name:
3,3'-(methylimino)bispropiononitrile
Cas Number:
1555-58-4
Molecular formula:
C7H11N3
IUPAC Name:
3-[(2-cyanoethyl)(methyl)amino]propanenitrile
Test material form:
liquid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Name as used in publication: N-Methyl-3,3'-iminodipropionitrile

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
other: Albino
Sex:
male

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
inhalation: vapour
Type of inhalation exposure:
not specified
Vehicle:
air
Details on inhalation exposure:
The stream to which the animals were exposed was prepared by passing dried air through a fritted disc gas washing bottle initialy at room temperature. When carbon dioxide reacts with the sample, the air stream is freed of that gas. Inhalations arecontinued for periods of time in an essentially logarithmic series with a ratio of two, extending to eight hours, until the period killing half the rats within 14 days of inhalation is defined.
Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
no
Duration of exposure:
8 h
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6
Control animals:
not specified
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Remarks on result:
not determinable
Mortality:
No mortality occured after 8 hours exposure within the observation period of 14 days.
