Justification for type of information:

1. SOFTWARE AND MODEL
EPI Suite version 4.11
MPBPWIN v1.43

2. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL
SMILES : O(c(ccc(O)c1)c1)c(cccc2)c2
NAME : Phenol, 4-phenoxy-
CAS Number : 831-82-3

3. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
No formal QMRF assessment of the model is currently available, however, the user's guide describes all the information.
- Defined endpoint: Melting Point
- Methodology: MPBPWIN estimates melting point by two different methods.  
The first is an adaptation of the Joback group contribution method for melting point (Joback, 1982; Reid et al; 1987) and the second is a simple Gold and Ogle method suggested by Lyman (1985). The original Joback methodology used a data set of 388 compounds to derive 41 chemical structure group descriptors via multiple linear regression (Joback, 1982).  The Joback adaptation in MPBPWIN is an extension of the original method to include the same groups as in the adapted Stein and Brown boiling point method.
The second estimation method (Gold and Ogle, 1969), simply relates melting point (Tm) to boiling point (Tb) as follows (both values in K): Tm  =  0.5839 Tb
MPBPWIN averages the adapted Joback and the Gold and Ogle estimates and reports the average estimate as well as both individual estimates.


4. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
No formal QMRF assessment of the model is currently available, however, the user's guide describes all the information.
- Descriptor domain: there is no universally accepted definition of model domain. users may wish to consider :
1 - The possibility that property estimates are less accurate for compounds outside the Molecular Weight range of the training set compounds [16 – 1 238 mg/mol]
2- And/or that have more instances of a given fragment than the maximum for all training set compounds.  
3- It is also possible that a compound may have a functional group(s) or other structural features not represented in the training set, and for which no fragment coefficient was developed.
- Other considerations: MPBPWIN applies a "cut-off" MP at approximately 350 deg C; that is, any MP estimate above 350 deg C is reduced to 350 deg C
- Similarity with analogues in the training set: the MPBPWIN training and validation datasets can be downloaded from the Internet at: http://esc.syrres.com/interkow/EpiSuiteData.htm

Description of key information

One Experimental Data was identified for Phenol, 4-Phenoxy, the melting point is 84°C. This study has a Klimisch cotation 2 and it is an handbook value.

QSAR prediction predicted that 4 -PhenoxyPhenol has a Melting Point:

• 87.2°C with OPERA
• 93.04°C with MPBPWIN

These values being close to the experimental value, the experimental value is the Key value.

Key value for chemical safety assessment
