Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In accordance with REACH Annex VIII column 2, hydrolysis study does not need to be conducted because the registered substance,(-)-(3aR,5aS,9aS,9bR)-3a,6,6,9a-Tetramethyldodecahydronaphtho[2,1-b]furan,is readily biodegradable. In addition, the registered substance contains no organic functional groups that may hydrolyse under environmental condition like alkyl halides, amides, amines, epoxides, esters. This substance consists only of organic functional groups that are relatively or completely inert with respect of hydrolysis. Based on the chemical structure an estimation of the hydrolysis rate is not possible.

This statement is supported by one study on the registered substance, not performed according to international guideline and not GLP. In this study, the disappearance of the registered substance after 5 days as well as after 28 days is less than 10% at any pH (from 2 to 12) at 40°C. Therefore, it can be concluded that the substance is hydrolytically stable under the conditions of the test. The test item is, therefore, assumed to be hydrolytically stable under the study conditions of the OECD 111 test guideline at pH 4, 7 and 9.
