- Sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate
- EC Number:
- 205-440-9
- EC Name:
- Sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate
- Cas Number:
- 140-90-9
- Molecular formula:
- C3H6OS2.Na
- IUPAC Name:
- sodium (ethoxymethanethioyl)sulfanide
- Test material form:
- solid: bulk
- Details on test material:
- SEX /sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate is produced by the reaction of an ethyl alcohol with sodium hydroxide to form alcoholate and subsequently adding carbon disulfide to form SEX/ sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate.
SEX /sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate contains Ethanol/ethyl alcohol (CAS number 64-17-5) and sodium hydroxide (CAS number 1310-73-2) which are an integral part of the substance.
Ethanol/ethyl alcohol (CAS number 64-17-5) and sodium hydroxide (CAS number 1310-73-2) are both reagents used in the manufacture of SEX /sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate. Therefore, Ethanol/ethyl alcohol (CAS number 64-17-5) and sodium hydroxide (CAS number 1310-73-2) need to be considered in the assessment of SEX /sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results :negative
As part of a study of the mutagenic potential of 300 chemicals, ethanol was evaluated in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay at a plate concentration of up to 10mg/plate in the presence of metabolic activation. There was no evidence of mutagenicity in either of the two strains examined (TA98, TA100). . It should be noted that only two of the normal four bacterial strains were evaluated, so the study cannot be regarded as complete or definitive.
Ethanol/ Ethyl Alcohol is both reagents used in the manufacture of sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate . Therefore, Ethanol/ Ethyl Alcohol need to be considered in the assessment of sodium O-ethyl dithiocarbonate - Executive summary:
