- Details on sampling:
- Sterile aqueous buffer solutions of different pH values (pH 4, 7 and 9) were spiked with the test substance and incubated at three different temperatures in the dark under controlled laboratory conditions.
Additionally, a sterile aqueous buffer solution pH 1.2 was spiked with the test substance and incubated (37°C) in the dark under controlled laboratory conditions. After appropriate time intervals, buffer solutions were analysed for the amount of test substance still available. - Buffers:
- Sterile test buffer solutions of pH 1.2, 4, 7 and 9 were prepared in glass bottles according to the description in Annex 3 of OECD 111 and purged with nitrogen for at least 5 minutes.
- Details on test conditions:
- Chemicals:
All chemicals used were of reagent grade, unless stated otherwise. Buffer solutions of different pH values were prepared according to the information as described in Annex 3 of OECD 111.
Materials:
All glassware and buffer solutions were sterilised. Test solutions were flushed with nitrogen to minimise oxidation. Test vessels were kept under dark conditions. A temperature-controlled water bath was used; temperature was measured using a calibrated thermometer, pH was measured using a pH meter.
Test procedure:
The hydrolysis study was carried out according to OECD guideline 111. Sterilization of the buffer solutions was performed by autoclaving at 121°C for 20 minutes. Sterilization of glassware was performed by heating at 180°C for at least 30 minutes. - Duration:

- Preliminary study:
- The screening hydrolysis study was performed separately for each pH value tested. Results of the different pH values are displayed below.
pH 4
The pH value at the start of the test was measured to be 4.0. The temperature throughout the test was measured to be 50.0°C. It was observed that more than 90% of the test substance was hydrolysed after ±27 hours.
pH 7
The pH value at the start of the test was measured to be 7.1. The temperature throughout the test was measured to be 50.0°C. It was observed that more than 90% of the test substance was hydrolysed after ±27 hours.
pH 9
The pH value at the start of the test was measured to be 9.1. The temperature throughout the test was measured to be 50.0°C. It was observed that more than 90% of the test substance was hydrolysed after ±23 hours.
As more than 10% of hydrolysis was observed in Tier 1 for all pH values also Tier 2 had to be performed for the three tested pH values. - Transformation products:

Hydrolysis of unstable substances (Tier 2)
Tier 2 of the hydrolysis study was carried out for pH values 4, 7 and 9 at three different temperatures, 10, 30 and 50°C. Results for the different pH values and test temperatures are described below.
pH 4
10 °C
The temperature throughout the test was measured to be 10.0°C. The pH of the buffer solution was checked at the start of the test and was measured to be 4.1. The results of replicate I showed very variable figures for hydrolysis. Measured concentrations at several time points were more than 20% higher than initial concentration. This cannot be caused by the uncertainty of the analytical method and therefore these results were considered to be outliers. Due to these unreliable results it was decided not to use the results of replicate I and to perform calculations with only one series of results. After 30 days about 18% of hydrolysis of the test substance was observed.

30 °C
The temperature during the test varied between 29.9 and 30.0°C. The pH of the buffer solution was checked at the start of the test and was measured to be 4.0. After 11 days between 78 and 80% of hydrolysis of the test substance was observed.

The results were used to calculate the half-life (t0.5), applying the Arrhenius relationship. The half-life for the test substance was calculated to be 2 hours.
Using the determined half-lives at the different test temperatures an interpolation curve was composed. Using the equation of this interpolation curve the half-life at a temperature of 25°C was calculated to be 45 hours.

The temperature throughout the test was measured to be 37.0°C. The pH of the buffer solution was checked at the start of the test and was measured to be 1.2.
Description of key information
The purpose of this study was to determine if tert-butylperoxyisopropylcarbonate
would hydrolyze at environmentally and physiologically relevant pH values, complying with the OECD Guideline No. 111. Hydrolysis of tert-pentyl peroxypivalate was observed at pH values 4, 7 and 9.
At pH value 4 the half-life (t0.5) for tert-pentyl peroxypivalate at a temperature of 25°C was calculated to be 10 days.
At pH value 7 the half-life (t0.5) for tert-pentyl peroxypivalate at a temperature of 25°C was calculated to be 9 days.
At pH value 9 the half-life (t0.5) for tert-pentyl peroxypivalate at a temperature of 25°C was calculated to be 45 hours.
No hydrolysis products were identified during the study, because hydrolysis was not fast enough to take this into account.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Half-life for hydrolysis:
- 9 d
- at the temperature of:
- 25 °C
