Description of key information
Additional information
Phototransformation in air
Parent compound heptanoyl chloride and hydrolysis product heptanoic acid:
After evaporation or exposure to air, the substance will be slowly degraded by photochemical processes.
Hydrolysis
Parent compound heptanoyl chloride is determined to hydrolyse rapidly to heptanoic acid and HCl.
Hydrolysis product: In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VII, the study does not need to be performed if the substance is readily biodegradable or inorganic. Heptanoyl chloride hydrolyses rapidly and forms heptanoic acid and HCl. Heptanoic acid is readily biodegradable, while HCl is inorganic.
Biodegradation
As the parent compound rapidly hydrolysis in aqueous system the assessment of the biodegradability based on the hydrolysis product heptanoic acid, which is readily biodegradable (according to OECD criteria).
Bioaccumulation
Parent compound: Heptanoyl chloride and hydrolysis product heptanoic acid: Significant accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.
Adsorption / desorption
Parent compound heptanoyl chloride and hydrolysis product heptanoic acid: Adsorption to solid soil phase is not expected. Moreover, heptanoic acid is considered to be readily biodegradable.
Henry`s Law constant
Parent compound: From the water surface, the substance will rapidly evaporate into the atmosphere.
Hydrolysis product: From the water surface, the substance will not evaporate into the atmosphere.
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).
