Description of key information

MOVE3 is not expected to hydrolyze at environmental conditions.

The tendency to hydrolyze has been assessed basing on the chemical structure of the molecule. MOVE3 does not contain any functional group associated with hydrolysis properties at environmental conditions.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

MOVE3  does not contain any functional group associated with hydrolysis properties at relevant environmental conditions.

Particularly, the carbon-fluorine bond is the strongest bond in organic chemistry . Substitution of hydrogen atoms with fluorine results in increased bond strengths for both carbon-fluorine and adjacent carbon-carbon bonds over the corresponding hydrocarbon and would increase the resistance to hydrolysis .  [David O’Hagan Chem. Soc. Rev 2008,37 and Lemal J. ORG.Chem 2004, 69]. Therefore, based on this qualitative structure-activity relationship, it can be concluded that hydrolysis is not a relevant degradation mechanism for this substance.

Moreover MOVE 3  is a low boiling liquid with the tendency to distribute almost exclusively into the atmosphere. As the substance is expected to rapidly volatilise from water  to the air in a water-air system technical difficoulties would be therefore expected in the performance of the experimental measurement of the hydrolysis and the feasibility of the study is finally uncertain.
