SRP: The most favorable course of action is to use an alternative chemical product with less inherent propensity for occupational harm/injury/toxicity 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 quality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on animal and plant life; and conformance with environmental and public health regulations.

Dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate's production and use in the synthesis of polyester resins, polyamides, alkyds, plasticizers, and polyurethane coatings(1) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams(SRC).

TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 31(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate is expected to have very high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 9.7X10-8 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 4.41X10-3 mm Hg(3), and water solubility, 1.2X10+4 mg/L(4). Volatilization from dry soil surfaces may not be an important fate process based upon its vapor pressure(SRC). Results of several biodegradation tests indicate that dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate is inherently biodegradable(5) and that biodegradation may be an important fate process in the environment(5,6).|AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 31(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate is not 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 9.7X10-8 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 4.41X10-3 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 1.2X10+4 mg/L(5). According to a classification scheme(6), an estimated BCF of 11(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 2.11(2) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). A base-catalyzed second-order hydrolysis rate constant of 0.00243 L/mole-sec(SRC) was estimated using a structure estimation method(2); this corresponds to half-lives of 9 years and 331 days at pH values of 7 and 8, respectively(2). Results of several biodegradation tests indicate that dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate is inherently biodegradable(7) and that biodegradation may be an important fate process in the environment(7,8).|ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate, which has an extrapolated vapor pressure of 4.41X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate 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 7.9X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate 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).

The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 7.9X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) using a structure estimation method(1). This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 2 days at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm(1). A base-catalyzed second-order hydrolysis rate constant of 0.00243 L/mole-sec(SRC) was estimated using a structure estimation method(1); this corresponds to half-lives of 9 years and 331 days at pH values of 7 and 8, respectively(1). Dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate does not contain chromophores that absorb at wavelengths >290 nm(2) and, therefore, is not expected to be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

An estimated BCF of 11 was calculated in fish for dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate(SRC), using an estimated log Kow of 2.11(1) and a regression-derived equation(1). According to a classification scheme(2), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC).

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate can be estimated to be 31(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate is expected to have very high mobility in soil.

The Henry's Law constant for dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate is estimated as 9.7X10-8 atm-cu m/mole(SRC) derived from its vapor pressure, 4.41X10-3 mm Hg(1), and water solubility, 1.2X10+4 mg/L(2). This Henry's Law constant indicates that dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate is expected to be essentially nonvolatile from water surfaces(3). Dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate's estimated Henry's Law constant indicates that volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to occur(SRC). Volatilization from dry soil surfaces may not be an important fate process based upon its vapor pressure(SRC).

According to the 2006 TSCA Inventory Update Reporting data, the number of persons reasonably likely to be exposed in the industrial manufacturing, processing, and use of dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate is 1000 or greater; the data may be greatly underestimated(1).|Occupational exposure to dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where dimethyl hexahydroterephthalate is produced or used. Limited population exposure may occur via ingestion of and dermal contact with contaminated water in the vicinity of a spill site. (SRC)

If vomiting occurs, lean patient forward or place on the left side (head-down position, if possible) to maintain an open airway and prevent aspiration. Keep patient quiet and maintain normal body temperature.

Dimethyl 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Methanol (500 mL) was cooled in an ice-salt bath and thionyl chloride (138 g, 4.0eq) was added dropwise. To the resultant solution of HCI in methanol, cyclohexane-1 , 4-dicarboxylic acid 1 (50g, 1.0 equiv) was added and the reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 h. TLC monitored the reaction. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was diluted with water, extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate layer was washed with NaHC0
