Description of key information

Additional information

To assess the stability of Ethyl trifluoroacetate (TFAE), one valid study report, five publications and one recent study were available.

The key study is an algae growth range-finding test in combination with an analytical hydrolysis test. Based on the results of the preliminary and range-finding studies, it can be concluded that TFAE is rapidly converted to TFA, in 57 minutes (half-life of TFAE is < 1 hour).

Furthermore, the results of the five publications and the recent study support the fact that TFAE is rapidly hydrolysed.
