Diethyl Carbonate

Diethyl carbonate appears as a colorless liquid with a mild pleasant odor. It is slightly less dense than water and insoluble in water. Hence floats on water. Flash point 77 °F. Vapors are heavier than air. When heated to high temperatures it may emit acrid smoke. Used as a solvent. CAMEO Chemicals

  • Environmental Bioconcentration: An estimated BCF of 2 was calculated for diethyl carbonate(SRC), using a log Kow of 1.21(1) and a regression-derived equation(2). According to a classification scheme(3), this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 100(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.21(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that diethyl carbonate is expected to have high mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of diethyl carbonate from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.9X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from a vapor pressure of 10.8 mm Hg(4) and water solubility of 18,800 mg/l(5). Diethyl carbonate may volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). Although no biodegradation data for diethyl carbonate was located, chemically similar short alkyl chain esters have been shown to biodegrade(6). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 100(SRC), determined from a log Kow of 1.21(2) and a regression-derived equation(3), indicates that diethyl carbonate is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment in water(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 8.9X10-5 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), calculated from a vapor pressure of 10.8 mm Hg(4) and water solubility of 18,800 mg/l(5). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 8 hours and 8 days, respectively(SRC). Diethyl carbonate may undergo hydrolysis in water since esters are susceptible to hydrolysis(3). Although no biodegradation data for diethyl carbonate was located, chemically similar short alkyl chain esters have been shown to biodegrade(6). According to a classification scheme(7), an estimated BCF of 2(SRC), from its log Kow(2) and a regression-derived equation(8), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), diethyl carbonate, which has a vapor pressure of 10.8 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase diethyl carbonate 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 5 days(SRC), calculated from its estimated rate constant of 3.3X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) determined using a structure estimation method(3). Diethyl carbonate may also undergo direct photolysis in the environment since this compound contains a functional group that can absorb light greater than 290 nm(4).
