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Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information
Parent compound: In contact with water the substance will hydrolyse rapidly (t1/2 < 10 min; BASF SE, 2009).
Hydrolysis product: According to structural properties, hydrolysis is not expected (HSDB, 2009).
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
In accordance with section 1 of REACH Annex XI, the study does not need to be conducted as the substance is known to hydrolyse fast (t0.5 < 10 min; BASF, 2009).
Octanoyl chloride is expected to hydrolyse rapidly (t1/2 < 10 min, SRC HYDROWIN v2.00).
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. Octanoyl chloride hydrolyses rapidly and forms octanoic acid and hydrochloric acid. Octanoic acid is readily biodegradable (ECB, 2000), while hydrochloric acid is inorganic.
Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions (HSDB, 2009).
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.
