Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Butyl 3,5-bis(1,1-dimethylethyl)-4-hydroxybenzenepropanoate (CAS 52449-44-2): NOEC(28d): 1000 mg/kg soil ww, EC50(28d) > 1000 mg/kg soil ww (Clarke, 2009)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
No data are available regarding toxicity effects to soil microorganisms of Benzenepropanoic acid, 3,5 -bis(1,1 -dimethylethyl)-4 -hydroxy-,C7 -9 branched alkyl esters (CAS 125643 -61 -0).
For the substance Butyl 3,5 -bis(1,1 -dimethylethyl)-4 -hydroxybenzenepropanoate (CAS 52449 -44 -2), which can be considered as read-across possibility, an experiment was conducted under certificated GLP compliance with reliability 1 (reliable without restriction).
The long-term effects of the substance after a single exposure and on nitrogen transformation activity of soil microorganisms after a single exposure were investigated (Clarke, 2009). The method followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (2000) No 216 “Soil Microorganisms: Nitrogen Transformation Test” referenced as Method C.21 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008. Following a preliminary range-finding test soil microorganisms were exposed to the test material at a single concentration of 1000 mg/kg for 28 days at a temperature of approximately 21°C, in the dark with the addition of powdered Lucerne-green-grassmeal to act as a respiratory substrate. The inhibitory effect of the test material on nitrogen transformation was assessed by the determination of nitrate concentration in the soil samples on Days 0, 7 and 28 and compared to data obtained from control soil samples. The EC50 value was found to be greater than 1000 mg/kg. The corresponding No Observed Effect Concentration (NOEC) was 1000 mg/kg.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).
