Remarks:
The authors tested the hydrolysis of benzotrichloride in light and heavy water following a methodology described by Robertson R.E. in 1955 (Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 33, 1536). GLP standards are not specified but the study is considered Klimisch 2e as it is well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles and is acceptable for assessment.

- The hydrolysis rate constants were

for hydrogen oxide: kH20X 105sec-1: 387 +/- 5

for deuterium oxide: kD20X 105sec-1: 307 +/- 15

- The half-life values were calculated using the formula: t1/2 = ln 2 / (kH20)

- kD20 / kH2O: 0.79

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
not applicable
Conclusions:
The authors tested the hydrolysis of benzotrichloride in light and heavy water following a methodology described by Robertson R.E. in 1955 (Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 33, 1536). In the test conditions, the hydrolysis rate of the test substance was 387 +/- 5 (kH20X 10E5 sec-1) for hydrogen oxide and 307 +/- 15 (kD20X 10E5 sec-1) for deuterium oxide. Using the formula t1/2 = ln 2 / (kH20) the half-life was calculated which are 2.99 min in hydrogen oxide and 3.76 min in deuterium oxide. The relation of rate ratios (kD20 / kH2O) is 0.79.
Executive summary:

The authors tested the hydrolysis of benzotrichloride (CAS n° 98-07-7) in light and heavy water following a methodology described by Robertson R.E. in 1955 (Canadian Journal of Chemistry, 33, 1536).

In the test conditions, the hydrolysis rate of the test substance was 387 +/- 5 (kH20X 10E5 sec-1) for hydrogen oxide and 307 +/- 15 (kD20X 10E5 sec-1) for deuterium oxide at 5.10°C. Hence, using the formula t1/2 = ln 2 / (kH20), the half life values for the test substance in hydrogen oxide and deuterium oxide are 2.99 min and 3.76 min respectively. The relation of rate ratios (kD20/kH20) is 0.79.

GLP standards are not specified but this study should be considered as reliable with restrictions as it is well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles and is acceptable for assessment.
