Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Explosiveness
Administrative data
Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- explosive properties of explosives
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- the study does not need to be conducted because there are no chemical groups present in the molecule which are associated with explosive properties
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- reference to other study
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Expert Statement
- Key result
- Parameter:
- other: Explosiveness
- Remarks on result:
- negative (not further specified)
- Conclusions:
- The active ingredient in (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-onedoes not contain any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion. Taking also the presence of 20% water into account, it can be concluded that (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one is not explosive.
- Executive summary:
The calculated oxygen balance for the active ingredient is —107%. This value is within the region where there may be a potential for explodability, however, there are no plosophores (bond groupings known to confer explosive properties) or auxoploses (explosive enhancing groups) present in the structure. The relatively high oxygen balance is due to the presence of the two —OH groups and the =O group in a relatively small molecule. Overall consideration of the properties would not mean a significant risk of explodability.
In conclusion, the active ingredient in (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one does not contain any chemically instable or highly energetic groups that might lead to an explosion. Taking also the presence of 20% water into account, it can be concluded that (S)-1,3,4-trihydroxybutan-2-one is not explosive.
