Description of key information

Hydrolysis is not expected (DT50 > 1 yr).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

No experimental study is available investigating the hydrolytic degradation of 2-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-6-[[3-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-2-hydroxy-5-methylphenyl]methyl]-4-methylphenyl acrylate (CAS 61167-58-6) in water. First, the substance has an extremely low water solubility of 0.123 μg/L while the limit of quantification is 0.05 μg/L (Smithers Viscient Study No. 13048.7035, 2017). This indicates that it is difficult to determine the hydrolytic half-life experimentally.

Second, the substance has one potential chemicalbondwhich may be subject to hydrolysis (ester bond).Hydrolysis of carboxylic esters is expected to occur under acidic conditions in the presence of strong heator alkaline conditions.However, the substance does not undergo hydrolysis undersuch strong acid conditions in actualenvironment.The half-life is calculated to bea DT50 of > 1 yr at pH7 and 45 d at pH 8 by QSAR calculationsand therefore the calculations suggest that the substance would not be degraded rapidly even under alkaline conditions. Moreover, the ester group is sterically protected by thetert-butyl group as well as the second aromatic ring structure. Thus, fast hydrolysis of the substance is not expected.
