TSCA-AnforderungenPursuant to section 8(d) of TSCA, EPA promulgated a model Health and Safety Data Reporting Rule. The section 8(d) model rule requires manufacturers, importers, and processors of listed chemical substances and mixtures to submit to EPA copies and lists of unpublished health and safety studies. 2-Ethylhexanoic acid is included on this list.
Reactivity ProfileETHYLHEXOIC ACID is a carboxylic acid. Carboxylic acids donate hydrogen ions if a base is present to accept them. They react in this way with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic. Their reactions with bases, called "neutralizations", are accompanied by the evolution of substantial amounts of heat. Neutralization between an acid and a base produces water plus a salt. Carboxylic acids with six or fewer carbon atoms are freely or moderately soluble in waterthose with more than six carbons are slightly soluble in water. Soluble carboxylic acid dissociate to an extent in water to yield hydrogen ions. The pH of solutions of carboxylic acids is therefore less than 7.0. Many insoluble carboxylic acids react rapidly with aqueous solutions containing a chemical base and dissolve as the neutralization generates a soluble salt. Carboxylic acids in aqueous solution and liquid or molten carboxylic acids can react with active metals to form gaseous hydrogen and a metal salt. Such reactions occur in principle for solid carboxylic acids as well, but are slow if the solid acid remains dry. Even "insoluble" carboxylic acids may absorb enough water from the air and dissolve sufficiently in it to corrode or dissolve iron, steel, and aluminum parts and containers. Carboxylic acids, like other acids, react with cyanide salts to generate gaseous hydrogen cyanide. The reaction is slower for dry, solid carboxylic acids. Insoluble carboxylic acids react with solutions of cyanides to cause the release of gaseous hydrogen cyanide. Flammable and/or toxic gases and heat are generated by the reaction of carboxylic acids with diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides. Carboxylic acids, especially in aqueous solution, also react with sulfites, nitrites, thiosulfates (to give H2S and SO3), dithionites (SO2), to generate flammable and/or toxic gases and heat. Their reaction with carbonates and bicarbonates generates a harmless gas (carbon dioxide) but still heat. Like other organic compounds, carboxylic acids can be oxidized by strong oxidizing agents and reduced by strong reducing agents. These reactions generate heat. A wide variety of products is possible. Like other acids, carboxylic acids may initiate polymerization reactionslike other acids, they often catalyze (increase the rate of) chemical reactions.
Chemical DangersThe substance is a strong reducing agent. It reacts violently with oxidants. Decomposes on heating. This produces irritating fumes.
Flammable LimitsLower flammable limit: 0.8% by volumeUpper flammable limit: 6.0% by volume
BrandbekämpfungUse water spray, powder, foam, carbon dioxide.
Erste-Hilfe-MaßnahmenFresh air, rest.Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse skin with plenty of water or shower.First rinse with plenty of water for several minutes (remove contact lenses if easily possible), then refer for medical attention.Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink. Refer for medical attention .
Erste HilfeEYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
Sichere LagerungSeparated from strong oxidants. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.
BrandbekämpfungsverfahrenCombustible. Water may be ineffective on fire. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing. Extinguish with dry chemical, alcohol foam, or carbon dioxide.
LagerbedingungenSeparated from strong oxidants. Store in an area without drain or sewer access.
ReinigungsverfahrenCollect leaking and spilled liquid in sealable containers as far as possible. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent and remove to safe place. Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment.
EntsorgungsverfahrenSRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational exposure or environmental contamination. Recycle any unused portion of the material for its approved use or return it to the manufacturer or supplier. Ultimate disposal of the chemical must consider: the material's impact on air qualitypotential migration in soil or watereffects on animal, aquatic, and plant lifeand conformance with environmental and public health regulations.
Verschüttetes entsorgenPersonal protection: filter respirator for organic gases and vapours adapted to the airborne concentration of the substance. Do NOT let this chemical enter the environment. Collect leaking liquid in sealable containers. Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent. Do NOT absorb in saw-dust or other combustible absorbents. Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.
Preventive MeasuresSRP: The scientific literature for the use of contact lenses in industry is conflicting. The benefit or detrimental effects of wearing contact lenses depend not only upon the substance, but also on factors including the form of the substance, characteristics and duration of the exposure, the uses of other eye protection equipment, and the hygiene of the lenses. However, there may be individual substances whose irritating or corrosive properties are such that the wearing of contact lenses would be harmful to the eye. In those specific cases, contact lenses should not be worn. In any event, the usual eye protection equipment should be worn even when contact lenses are in place.
Eye PreventionWear safety goggles.
Fire PreventionNO open flames.

UmweltverhaltenTERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 650(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 2.64(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-ethylhexanoic acid is expected to have low mobility in soil(SRC). The estimated pKa of 2-ethylhexanoic acid is 4.70(4), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5). Volatilization of 2-ethylhexanoic acid from moist soil surfaces is expected to be a slow fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.8X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.03 mm Hg(6), and water solubility, 2,000 mg/L(7). 2-Ethylhexanoic acid is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(6). A biodegradation half-life of approximately 5 days when incubated in river sediment(8) suggests that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in soil(SRC).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 650(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 2.64(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that 2-ethylhexanoic acid is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.8X10-6 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(4), derived from its vapor pressure, 0.03 mm Hg(5), and water solubility, 2,000 mg/L(6). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 15 and 120 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(7), an estimated BCF of 3(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(8), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). A biodegradation half-life of approximately 5 days when incubated in river sediment(9) suggests that biodegradation may be an important environmental fate process in water(SRC).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), 2-ethylhexanoic acid, which has a vapor pressure of 0.03 mm Hg at 20 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase 2-ethylhexanoic acid is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 2 days(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 8.2X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). 2-Ethylhexanoic acid does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(4) and therefore is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).
LebensmitteluntersuchungswerteAfter simultaneous distillation-extraction (SDE) of commercial baby foods (n = 20) and fruit juices (n = 15) (among them 15 and eight products labelled 'organic', respectively) from 11 different suppliers, analyses performed by coupled capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) revealed the presence of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (2-EHA), a known teratogenic compound. 2-EHA was found in 80 and 73% of the baby foods and fruit juices, respectively. Amounts ranged from 0.25 to 3.2 mg kg(-1)(average, 0.55 mg kg(-1)) and from 0.01 to 0.59 mg L(-1) (average, 0.18 mg L(-1)) in baby foods and fruit juices, respectively. GC-MS analysis of the SDE extracts obtained from the plastic gaskets inside the metal lids of the samples under study revealed the gaskets to be the origin of 2-EHA.2-Ethylhexanoic acid was identified as a volatile component in raw beefthe compound may not be representative of raw beef but rather more akin to products produced in cooked fat(1).
Unerwünschte WirkungenOccupational hepatotoxin - Secondary hepatotoxins: the potential for toxic effect in the occupational setting is based on cases of poisoning by human ingestion or animal experimentation.
ExpositionspfadeThe substance can be absorbed into the body by inhalation of its vapour, through the skin and by ingestion.
Ökotoxizitätsauszüge/AQUATIC SPECIES/ Earlier work with pure cultures had shown that the interaction of microbes with plasticizers leads to the formation of metabolites including 2-ethylhexanoic acid and 2-ethylhexanol that resist further degradation. The presence of these metabolites is now reported in a variety of environmental samples. Thus, even in a complex ecosystem, when plasticizers are degraded, the breakdown is not complete and significant amounts of 2-ethylhexanoic acid and 2-ethylhexanol are observed. These compounds have been shown to exhibit acute toxicity using Microtox, Daphnia, rainbow trout and fathead minnow toxicity assays. Since it is already well established that plasticizers are ubiquitous in the environment, it is expected that their recalcitrant metabolites will also be ubiquitous. This is of concern because, while the plasticizers do not exhibit acute toxicity, their metabolites do.

Water samples from several sampling stations in the "Valley of the Drums" near Louisville, KY were found to contain ethyl hexanoic acid(5). Groundwater samples collected near an area known to be contaminated by wood-preserving chemicals in Pensacola, FL contained 2-ethylhexanoic acid at concns of 0.17, 5.79, and 1.44 mg/L 6.1, 3.3, and 5.8 m below the surface, respectively(6). 2-Ethylhexanoic acid was identified in trench leachate from low-level radioactive waste disposal sites in Maxey Flats, KY and West Valley, NY at an average concn of 5.9 and 140 mg/L, respectively(7). 2-Ethylhexanoic acid was detected in the leachate of a sanitary landfill located in Barcelona, Spain at an unreported concn(8). 2-Ethylhexanoic acid was detected in emissions from a municipal waste incineration plant at a concn of 0.60 ug/cu m(9).2-Ethylhexanoic acid has been identified in municipal landfill leachate samples from Gryta, Vasteras, Sweden, sampled in May, 1990the compounds was detected not quantified in 1 of 3 samples(1). The possible origins were identified as detergents and as a hydrolysis product of phthalates(1). The compound was present at a concentration of 155 ug/L in leachate from a landfill for municipal wastes in Japan(2).
ICSC Environmental DataThe substance is harmful to aquatic organisms.
Soil Adsorption/MobilityThe Koc of 2-ethylhexanoic acid is estimated as 650(SRC), using a log Kow of 2.64(1)((1,SRC) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this estimated Koc value suggests that 2-ethylhexanoic acid is expected to have low mobility in soil. The estimated pKa of 2-ethylhexanoic acid is 4.70(4), indicating that this compound will partially exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(5).
TSCA Test Submissions2-Ethylhexanoic acid (CAS # 149-57-5) was evaluated for corrosive dermal irritation under exposure conditions prescribed in adjunctive dermal pharmacokinetic study. Four groups of 2 female Fischer 344 rats were exposed with undiluted injections of approximately 1 g/kg through an occluded containment device (2 x 2 cm exposure area) attached to shaved dorsal skin. A pair of treated rats and one of four control rats, similarly attired without treatment, were sacrificed at 24, 48, 72, and 96 hours post-injection for gross and microscopic assessments of dermal corrosion. Gross changes associated with treatment were minimal at 96-hour final necropsy. A white powdery deposit on treated skin and one incidence of focal (2 mm diameter) erythema were observed in the 2 treated rats. Histopathological review, however, revealed a profound dermal response at 24 hours, characterized by necrosis with inflammation of underlying dermal and hypodermis indicative of a breakdown of epidermal integrity. Serial examinations revealed healing by regeneration of necrotic areas from adjacent, less damaged areas' increasing thickness at 48 hours, and a progressive reversal of epidermal thickening at 72 and 96 hours. At 48 hours, acanthosis and keratosis were apparent in most samples, as were prominent keratohyalin granules and parakeratosis. Mitotic figures gave testimony to regeneration from basal layer cells. The study authors offered the lack of residual test substance in the containment device at 24 hours with subsequent amelioration of dermal corrosion as evidence of rapid (24 hour) dermal absorption of 2-ethylhexanoic acid.2-Ethylhexanoic acid was evaluated for corrosive dermal irritation under exposure conditions prescribed in adjunctive dermal pharmacokinetics study.

Animals were observed for 14 days after dosing, then sacrificed. All rats treated with 2890 mg/kg died on day 1. The cause of death was not determined. The remaining rats survived the observation period. Rats given 722 mg/kg or higher exhibited weakness on the day of dosing. Weight loss was observed (14/16) during the first 24 hours after dosing, but by day 7, all had regained and exceeded their original weight. Absolute and relative liver (only organ examined) weight of the surviving rats did not differ from controls. An histopathological examination was not conducted. An LD50 of 2043 mg/kg bw/day was calculated.Acute dermal toxicity was evaluated in 4 rabbits (sex and strain not reported) receiving single occluded applications of 2-ethylhexanoic acid as a 40% solution in DMSO at a dose level of 6.4 g/kg of body weight. Mortality was observed in 1 animalthe LD50 value was reported to be 6.4 g/kg. Clinical observations were not reported. Gross necropsy revealed extensive autolysis.For more TSCA Test Submissions (Complete) data for 2-ETHYLHEXANOIC ACID (8 total), please visit the HSDB record page.
