Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Reference
Endpoint:
stability in organic solvents and identity of relevant degradation products
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
other information
Study period:
20. Nov. 2015 - 03. March 2016
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
GLP compliance:
no
Test substance stable:
no
Remarks:
This was traced back to side reaction of Magnesium methanolate with the moisture content in the solvent, since the solvents were of non-dried commercial quality.
Transformation products:
yes
No.:
#1
Conclusions:
In all solvent filtrates except in n-Heptane methanol was found and quantified by NMR. This was traced back to side reaction of Magnesium methanolate with the moisture content in
the solvent, since the solvents were of non-dried commercial quality.
No other known or unknown components were found.
Magnesium methanolate is not soluble in the tested solvents (Tetrahydrofurane (THF), n-Heptane, Dichloromethane, Isopropanol, Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Acetonitrile (ACN)).

Description of key information

The stability of Magnesium methanolate was conducted with solvents of different polarity. The Solvents that were tested for side reactions with Magnesium methanolate were tetrahydrofurane (THF), n-Heptane, Dichloromethane, Isopropanol, Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), Acetonitrile (ACN).

In all solvent filtrates except in n-Heptane methanol was found and quantified by NMR. This was traced back to side reaction of Magnesium methanol with the moisture content in

the solvent, since the solvents were of non-dried commercial quality. No other known or unknown components were found.

Magnesium methanolate is not soluble in the tested solvents.
