Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

17 beta-Hydroxy-1 alpha-methyl-4-androsten-3-one can be considered to be hydrolytically stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 at 25 °C.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

17 beta-Hydroxy-1 alpha-methyl-4-androsten-3-one does not contain functional groups which are susceptible to hydrolytic degradation. Hydrolytic stability is thus to be expected. This notion is experimentally supported by the results of a hydrolysis study with Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione which is structurally similar to the test substance. Androst-4-ene-3,17-dione was found to be hydrolytically stable in the pH region 4-9 and 25 °C.
