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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC number: 219-775-3 | CAS number: 2528-61-2
Bioaccumulation: aquatic / sediment

Description of key information
Parent compound heptanoyl chloride and hydrolysis product heptanoic acid: Significant accumulation in organisms is not to be expected.
However, the assessment of the bioaccumulation potential of the parent compound may be of low relevance, due to the rapid hydrolysis of the acid chloride in aqueous solutions.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A study is not required for this tonnage band. Moreover and in accordance with column 2 of Annex IX, the study does not need to be conducted if the substance has a low potential for bioaccumulation (for instance a log Kow ≤ 3). Heptanoyl chloride (CAS 2528-61-2) has an estimated log Kow of 1.98 (KOWWIN v1.68). The substance decomposes rapidly to form HCl and heptanoic acid (CAS 111-14-8). The experimental log Kow of 2.42 (PhysProp database, EPI Suite v4.11) for the hydrolysis product heptanoic acid does not indicate a significant potential for bioaccumulation.
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.
