Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Additional information
Phototransformation in air
In the presence of moisture, 1,2,3,6-tetrahydro-3-methylphthalic anhydride is rapidly hydrolysed to the correspondent 3-methylcyclohex-4-ene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid, that is most relevant to various environmental compartments than the submission substance.
The stability of the substances in the atmosphere was calculated using the software AOPWIN (v1.92). It is predicted that both anhydride and acid forms will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals, with a half-life of 5.9 hours, and overall degradation rate constants with OH radicals of 5.66E-6 cm3/(molecule-day).
Hydrolysis
Hydrolysis of a structural analogue of the substance, tetrahydromethylphthalic anhydride (MTHPA), has been investigated. The substance was found to hydrolyse rapidly, resulting in formation of the respective di-acid. The calculated half-lives at 20 deg C are, for all three pH values ( 4, 7 and 9) below 3.5 minutes (about 0.06 hours).
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
