- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The target substance FATTY ACIDS, COCO, ISO-BU ESTERS (CAS 91697-43-7) and the source substance FATTY ACIDS, C16-18, ISOBUTYL ESTERS (CAS 85865-69-6) are both Short Chain Alcohol Esters (SCAE C2-C8) composed by a fatty acid (C16-C18) and a C4 alcohol (isobutanol).
The source and the target substance show therefore the same reactive groups and a similar composition. A read-across to the source is therefore justified.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Both target and source substances are fatty acid esters produced by chemical reaction of an alcohol (isobutanol) with organic acids (e. g. stearic acid) in the presence of an acid catalyst. The esterification reaction is started by a transfer of a proton from the acid catalyst to the acid to form an alkyloxonium ion. The carboxylic acid is protonated on its carbonyl oxygen followed by a nucleophilic addition of a molecule of the alcohol to a carbonyl carbon of acid. An intermediate product is formed. This intermediate product loses a water molecule and proton to give an ester. Monoesters are the final product of esterification.
3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
Since both target and source substances are fatty acid esters produced by chemical reaction of an alcohol (isobutanol) with an organic acid and therefore share similar/overlapping structural features and functional groups, it is justified to use a read across approach. The source substance has been registered already and its oral acute toxicity has been investigated using a grouping of substance and read across approach. All available acute oral toxicity studies within this category resulted in an acute oral LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw. It has been concluded that no adverse effects are observed for Fatty acids, C16-18, isobutyl esters (CAS No. 85865-69-6).
The same behaviour is predicted for the target substance FATTY ACIDS, COCO, ISO-BU ESTERS (CAS 91697-43-7) .
