- pH:
- ca. 3 - ca. 3.88
- Remarks on result:
- other: Range of pH values measured during preliminary test. Range of pH values in definitive test: 3.09-3.15.
- Details on results:
- The standard methods were not applicable to this test item due to the high indeterminable saturation levels produced. It was therefore not possible to prepare samples at five times the saturation level as recommended in the guidelines. No analysis could be performed due to the high solubility producing unfilterable mixtures. Therefore the water solubility was determined based on visual inspection. Throughout testing the test item/water mixtures have been shown to be single phase homogenous solutions at concentrations below 52.6% w/w and above 90% w/w. The evidence of a single homogeneous solution above 90% w/w is evidence of either the test item absorbing water or water dissolved in the test item. It is therefore not possible to narrow the water solubility result further between this range.
- Conclusions:
- Water solubility in the range of 52.6 to 90.0 w/w% at 20.0 ± 0.5°C was determined for the substance by visual inspection and in compliance with GLP. The result is considered to be reliable.

Conclusion:
The water solubility of the test item has been determined to be in the range of 52.6 to 90.0% w/w of solution at 20.0 ± 0.5°C.
Description of key information
Water solubility: ≥560 g/L at 20°C and pH 3.09 - 3.1 (applies to both Cyrene™ and Gem Diol forms)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Water solubility:
- 560 g/L
- at the temperature of:
- 20 °C
Additional information
Water solubility in the range 52.6 to 90.0 w/w% at 20.0 ± 0.5°C and pH 3.09 - 3.15 was determined for Cyrene™ using a flask method with visual observation. During the study, it was observed that the standard test guidelines, OECD 105/EU Method A.6 are not applicable to the test substance due to the high indeterminable saturation levels produced. It was not possible to prepare samples at five times the saturation level as recommended in the guidelines. No analysis could be performed due to the high solubility producing unfilterable mixtures. Therefore, the water solubility of Cyrene™ was determined based on visual inspection. The result is considered to be reliable.
A water solubility of ≥50 w/w% is equivalent to approximately ≥560 g/L (see calculation below).
In contact with water, the ketone group in Cyrene™ ((1S,5R)-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-4-one) hydrates to give the Gem Diol form. This hydration is fully reversible and a dynamic equilibrium is established (see attached document in Section 13 for further details).
In 50% w/w Cyrene™ and water there would be a mixture of Cyrene™ and Gem Diol forms present. Both species are predicted to be highly water soluble and the indicative value of 560 g/L is applied to both forms. Any remaining uncertainty in the value of water solubility is not considered to be important for the chemical safety assessment as the water solubility is very high.
Calculation of water solubility
The substance is soluble at 50% w/w and above.
Density of Cyrene™ 1.25 g/cm3.
Density of water is 1 g/cm3.
For x kg of solution, there are 0.5x kg of Cyrene™ and 0.5x kg of water.
Volume of Cyrene™ = 0.5x kg / 1.25 kg/L = 0.4x L
Vol of water = 0.5x kg / 1 kg/L = 0.5x L
Total volume of solution = 0.9x L
Concentration of Cyrene™ = 500x g / 0.9x L = 560 g Cyrene™ /L solution
