- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
This read-across is based on the hypothesis that source and target substances have similar (eco)toxicological properties because
• they share structural similarities with common functional groups: One quaternised ethanolamine moiety, one to three, mainly two ester groups with a typical UVCB distribution with long-chain fatty acids of natural origin. The molecular structure is almost identical.
• they are manufactured from similar resp. identical precursors (triethanolamine, long-chain fatty acids, dimethyl sulphate) under similar conditions. Therefore common breakdown products via physical and biological processes, which result in structurally similar chemicals are evident
• A constant pattern in the changing of the potency of the properties across the TEA-Esterquats by chain-length and the grade of esterification is not observed, because the fatty acid chain-length distribution is too narrow and similar and the distribution of mono-, di-, and tri-esters is identical. Some variation caused by variation in C=C double bonds may occur and will be discussed at the relevant endpoint.

Results of the preliminary test (ambient temperature/bi-distilled water): A solution with a nominal concentration of 10 mg test item/L was totally dissolved or dispersed with no apparent precipitate or phase separation after 24 h of shaking. A solution with a nominal concentration of 100 mg test item/L showed un-dissolved solid particles after 24 h of shaking.

Based on the results in buffered systems it can be assumed that the water solubility is dependent on pH. However, due to the bipolarity of the molecules, it is noted that the counter ions phosphate, citrate and borate, respectively obviously have a more distinct influence on solubility than pH, since the solubility is almost three orders of magnitude below that in pure water. Finally, at higher pH values, a change in composition due to hydrolysis may have a greater influence on the absolute solubility of the test item (see chapter 5.1.2).

Additional information
The water solubility of C18 and C18 unsatd. TEA-Esterquat was determined according to OECD Guideline 105 using the flask method.
The water solubility was determined to be 878.4 mg/L at 20°C and pH 2.9 (pH was not adjusted).
Further supporting data are available for the source substance partially unsaturated TEA-Esterquat:
The water solubility of partially unsaturated TEA-Esterquat was investigated in a study conducted according to OECD Guideline 105 and EU-Method A.6 and using HPLC/MS/MS for quantification. HPLC/MS/MS proved to be a suitable analytical tool. Based on the results of the preliminary test, the flask method was used for the determination of the water solubility. In the main test, on the one hand the test item was dissolved in distilled water and the water solubility was measured at 10, 20, and 30°C without adjustment of the pH and on the other hand the water solubility of the test item was determined in buffered systems (pH 4, 7, and 9) at 20°C. The following results were obtained:
1. Solubility in water without pH adjustment (distilled water being in equilibrium with atmospheric carbon dioxide) at 10, 20, and 30°C: 2171 (pH 3.73, 10°C), 2244 (pH 3.86, 20°C), and 2359 mg/L (pH 3.83, 30°C).The water solubility was not found to be temperature dependent.
2. Solubility in buffered water at pH 4-9 and 20°C: 5.30 (pH 4.05), 3.39 (pH 7.08), and 19.4 mg/L (pH 9.11; at 20°C each). Based on the results in buffered systems it can be assumed that the water solubility is dependent on pH.
