- Remarks on result:
- other: hydrolytically stable
- Executive summary:
Quoting the review: "Nitrosamines, in general, are hydrolytically stable at ambient environmental conditions and are reported to be hydrolyzed only at elevated temperatures in strongly acidic solutions (Fieser and Fieser 1956). Tate and Alexander (1975) reported no hydrolytic degradation of dimethylnitrosamine in their Lake Cayuga water samples over the observation period of 3.5 months. Since acid-catalyzed hydrolysis involves protonation of one of the nitrogen atoms, diphenylnitrosamine should be similarly stable to hydrolysis."

Description of key information
N-nitroso-N-phenylaniline is not expected to undergo hydrolysis under relevant environmental conditions of temperature and pH. Quoting the review included as a weight of evidence: "Nitrosamines, in general, are hydrolytically stable at ambient environmental conditions and are reported to be hydrolyzed only at elevated temperatures in strongly acidic solutions (Fieser and Fieser 1956). Tate and Alexander (1975) reported no hydrolytic degradation of dimethylnitrosamine in their Lake Cayuga water samples over the observation period of 3.5 months.

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.
