Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

A direct study on the rate of hydrolysis of TBSI is not relevant, nor possible because of the low water solubility of TBSI (1.75 µg/L). However a study on the stability for hydrolysis on a structural analog (TBBS) showed a half life for hydrolysis of approximately 8 hrs. For TBSI a similar half life would be expected, though somewhat slower due to steric hindrance and the very low water solubility.

Additional information

A direct study on the rate of hydrolysis of TBSI is not relevant, nor possible because of the low water solubility of TBSI (1.75 ug/L). However a study on the stability for hydrolysis on a structural analog (TBBS) was carried out, which showed a half life for hydrolysis of approximately 8 hrs. Based on its similar chemical structure TBSI is also expected to be hydrolysed with the same mechanism, though somewhat slower than TBBS because of its very low water solubility and its additional mercaptobenzothiazole group.

Rationale for using TBBS data for TBSI:

TBSI contains two benzothiazolesulfenamide groups attached to t-butylamine. In TBBS one of the bezothiazolesulfenamide groups is replaced by a hydrogen atom. The hydrolytic attack on TBBS, cleaving the N-S bond, is completely similar for TBBS and TBSI. So the results obtained for TBBS can be directly translated to TBSI, taking into account the steric hindrance of the additional benzothiazolesulfenamide group and the lower water solubility of TBSI compared to TBBS.
