Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Test results for ADONA, the ammonium salt, are also reported for DONA free acid. ADONA exists in dissociated form, as ammonium and DONA anion, in aqueous solution. The ADONA toxicity tests are functionally tests of the combined toxicity of ammonium and DONA anion. The hydrolysis half-life of MeDONA in pure water and ambient temperature was determined to be 2.68 ± 1.63 minutes. The hydrolysis products are methanol and DONA free acid. MeDONA will therefore not exist for more than a few minutes in aqueous solution, being converted totally to methanol and DONA in any environmental system Aquatic toxicity testing with MeDONA as the starting material would be conducted at near-neutral pH. Given a pKa of ca. 2, the organisms would also be exposed to DONA anion and a small amount of methanol if these studies were conducted. Methanol is a REACH-registered substance of minimal hazard to aquatic systems, and is not considered further. Because no toxicity was observed with ADONA, there is no confounding of DONA toxicity with ammonium toxicity, and the ADONA results are directly applicable to MeDONA.
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.
