Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

There is considerable hydrolysis of 1-chlorobutane with DT50 values ranging from 24 to 201 hours.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Half-life for hydrolysis:
101 h
at the temperature of:
40 °C

Additional information

The hydrolysis of 1-chlorobutane was investigated according to OECD Guideline 111 (Study director 1990a). The test was performed at pH 4.0, 7.0 and 9.0 in sterile buffer solutions at a temperature of 40, 50 and 60 °C. After 5 days of incubation, the hydrolytical degradation was more than 10% of initial concentrations in the range of 42 to 145 mg/L for all temperatures and pH values (pH 9: borate buffer; pH 7: phosphate buffer; pH 4: citrate buffer). The half-life times varied between 24 and 201h, with a half-life time of 101 hours at pH 7.0 and 40°C. With increasing temperature and increasing pH, the half-life will be shorter.
