The optimal concentration of the test item required for the analysis is lower than 10.3 g/l. This value is less than half of the solubility in water (project 20060734.01: cs = 396.7 g/l without correction for the purity) and less than 0.01 mol/l for the test item. This complies with the requirements of the guidelines.

- Preparation of the Test Samples
For each test stock solutions of the test item were prepared by weighing about 19.8 mg to 26.5 mg of the test item and dissolving it in 50 ml of the relevant buffers. This preparation was done in a glove box filled with nitrogen.
Hydrolysis Procedure
The flasks containing the hydrolysis mixtures were placed in a thermostatically controlled water bath at the selected temperature for the specified time. Thereafter aliquots of each flask were taken and cooled down. The volumetric flasks were flooded with nitrogen again. The aliquots were stored in the refrigerator until their measurement.
The pH was controlled and the concentration of the unhydrolysed test item (main compound) was measured by HPLC.
Pretests
The pretests were done at 50 ± 0.5 °C with buffers at pH 4, 7 and 9.

- Statistical methods:
- The concentrations of the standards were calculated from the sample weights. The initial concentrations Co of the test item and the concentrations during the test process Ct were calculated from the HPLC software.
In the case of pseudo first order reaction, according to the following relationships a linear dependence on the time (t) is expected for log (Ct/Co): log (Ct/Co) = t * (-kobs) / 2.303
The experimental data of test 1 were checked graphically for the approximate fulfillment of this relationship. The constant kobs was determined by linear regression of - log (Ct/Co) to t.
The half-life period t½ was calculated according to: t½ = In2 / Kobs
The Arrhenius-equation was used to extrapolate the rate constants at higher temperature to room
temperature: In kT = - E/R * 1/T + const.
The constant "E/R" and "const." were determined by linear regression of 1/T to in Kobs - Preliminary study:
- The decomposition at pH 4 is below 50 % after 2.4 hours and below 10 % after 5 days at 50 °C. According to Guideline 67/548/EEC Annex V no additional tests have to be performed for pH 4.
The decomposition at pH 9 is above 50 % after 2.4 hours at 50 °C. According to Guideline 67/548/EEC Annex V no additional tests have to be performed for pH 9.
The decomposition at pH 7 is below 50 % after 2.4 hours at 50 °C and above 10 % after 5 days at 50 °C. The pretest at pH 7 indicates that an examination of the hydrolysis kinetics is essential. - Test performance:
