Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

The key study (Sárvári, 2012a) was performed under GLP conditions and in accordance with standardised guidelines. The study was assigned a reliability score of 1 in line with the principles for assessing data quality as defined by Klimisch (1997). Under the conditions of the test, the melting point of the test material was determined to be 188.7 ± 0.003 °C (461.9 K).

The supporting study (Butler, 2008) was performed using a read across substance, sodium 5-oxo-DL-prolinate, which is a racemic mixture of the D- and L- isomeric forms of the substance. Read-across is considered to be suitable based on the structural similarities between the read across substance (sodium 5-oxo-DL-prolinate) and the substance to be registered (sodium 5-oxo-L-prolinate), which is the L- isomer only. As such the difference in isomeric forms of the substance is unlikely to affect the physico-chemical properties. The study was conducted under GLP conditions and in accordance with standardised guidelines. The study was assigned a reliability score of 2 in line with the principles for assessing data quality as defined by Klimisch (1997). Under the conditions of the test, melting with decomposition was observed at approximately 337 °C (610K).
