Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
In contact with water 4-(vinyloxy)butan-1-ol hydrolyses under formation of acetaldehyd and 1,4-butanediol which are both hydrolitically stable.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The substance is not stable in water. The half life of the substance depends on pH and temperature. The hydrolysis rate constant increases with rising temperature and with decreasing pH respectively. At acidic condictions (pH 4) a half life of 0.35 h was determined at 25 °C, the half life increased with decreasing temperature (0.54 h at 20 °C). At a pH of 7 and a temperature of 20 °C a half life of 49.4 hours was determined. At 25 °C the substance was degraded by 50 % after 31.7 hours. The products of hydrolysis are identified as acetaldehyd and 1,4-butanediol which are both hydrolitically stable. Furthermore, both substances are considered as not toxic in the aquatic environment.
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.
