Additional information
No data are available on the genetic toxicity of sodium 2-methylbutan-2-olate. The test substance hydrolyses rapidly in contact with water. The hydrolysis products 2-methylbutan-2-ol (CAS No. 75-85-4) and sodium hydroxide (CAS No. 1310-73-2) showed no genotoxicity and both are not classified as genotoxic (according to the disseminated dossiers available on the homepage of ECHA). The test substance is only used as transported intermediate.
Endpoint Conclusion: No study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
No data are available on the genetic toxicity of sodium 2-methylbutan-2-olate. As the test substance hydrolyses immediately in contact with water, the classification is based on the dissociation products. 2-methylbutan-2-ol (CAS No. 75-85-4) and sodium hydroxide (CAS No. 1310-73-2) showed no genotoxicity and both are not classified as mutagenic (according to the disseminated dossiers available on the homepage of ECHA). Based on this, sodium 2-methylbutan-2-olate is also assumed as non-mutagenic and is not classified as mutagen according CLP regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
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.
