Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Due to rapid hydrolysis, octanoyl chloride will not be present in the environment for a significant time. The hydrolysis is expected to be rapid with a half-life of less than 10 minutes. Therefore, the fate in the environment is mainly based on the hydrolysis product octanoic acid.
Due to its calculated log Koc of 1.48 to 2.06 (Koc = 32 to 115; BASF SE, 2009), adsorption of octanoyl chloride to soil and sediment is not expected. However, octanoyl chloride is expected to hydrolyse rapidly and form octanoic acid.
The hydrolysis product octanoic acid has a calculated log Koc of 2.11 (value refers to the charged molecule; BASF SE, 2009). Therefore, adsorption to solid soil phase is not expected.
If the hydrolysis product is exposed to water, it will not evaporate into the atmosphere from the water surface because of its Henry's Law Constant of 0.0904 Pa m³/mol (BASF SE, 2009).
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.
