Conclusions:
Stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 at 25ºC
Executive summary:

In a study of the abiotic hydrolysis of 6-tert-butyl-2,4-xylenol, according to the OECD guideline 111 and complying GLP, it was found that this substance is stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 at 25 ºC.

Endpoint:
hydrolysis
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The substance CAS No. 1879-09-0 is one of the main components of the reaction mass of 2-tert-butyl-4,6-dimethylphenol and 4-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethylphenol and it is present in a concentration of more than 70%. Therefore, the results obtained with the substance CAS No. 1879-09-0 can be used for the read-across approach.
See attached the reporting format.

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Transformation products:
not specified
Key result
Remarks on result:
not measured/tested

Stable at pH 4, 7 and 9 at 25ºC.

Conclusions:
Based on read-across approach from experimental data on analogue substance 6-tert-butyl-2,4-xylenol (CAS 1879-09-0), the reaction mass of 2-tert-butyl-4,6-dimethylphenol and 4-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethylphenol is determined to be stable at pH 4, 7 and 9, at 25ºC.
Executive summary:

In a experimental study 6-tert-butyl-2,4-xylenol was found to be stable at pH 4, 7 and 9, at 25ºC. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the reaction mass of 2-tert-butyl-4,6-dimethylphenol and 4-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethylphenol was determined to be also stable at pH 4, 7 and 9, at 25ºC.

Endpoint:
hydrolysis
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
other:
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING
No scientifically justified due to lack of hydrolysable functional groups.

Description of key information

Key study: Experimental result: read-across from results obtained in a test according to OECD Guideline 111. GLP study.

Stable at pH 4, 7 and 9, at 25ºC.

Data waiving:

The hydrolysis study is not scientifically justified due to lack of hydrolysable functional groups in the substance.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Key study: In a experimental study 6-tert-butyl-2,4-xylenol was found to be stable at pH 4, 7 and 9, at 25ºC. Based on these results, the read-across approach was applied and the reaction mass of 2-tert-butyl-4,6-dimethylphenol and 4-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethylphenol was determined to be also stable at pH 4, 7 and 9, at 25ºC.

 

Data waiving:

The hydrolysis study is not scientifically justified due to lack of hydrolysable functional groups in the substance.
