Now you can calculate hydrolysis rates for chemicals without experimental data using the Hydrolysis Rate Program. This powerful software package calculates the hydrolysis rate constant for esters, carbamates, halomethanes, alkyl halides, and epoxides using the method developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Toxic Substances. The program uses SMILES notation structural input to calculate a second-order acid- or base-catalyzed hydrolysis rate constant at 25 Degrees C. Acid- and base-catalyzed half-lives are calculated for pH7 and/or pH8.

Hydrolysis Rate Program will run on any IBM (R) or IBM-compatible personal computer with 320K RAM and will be a valuable asset for any environmental chemist, analytical lab, regulator, or chemical company.
