Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
The dissociation constant of L-Cysteine Hydrochloride Monohydrate was determined using the titrimetric method at 20.0 °C.
The test item L-Cysteine Hydrochloride Monohydrate should be considered as acid with three proton donator units.
The three measured pKa can be assigned to the proton donator units of the test item:
pKa1= pKa(COOH-group) = 1.967
pKa2= pKa(SH-group) = 8.317
pKa3=pKa(NH3-group) = 10.455.
From these results, it can be determined that the substance would always be ionised at environmentally relevant pH's.
These constants can be applied to the anhydrous form - L-Cysteine hydrochlorde - as well.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
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.
