Description of key information

The objective of the test was to determine the partition coefficient of the test item by calculation.The methods given in the Commission Directive 92/69/EEC - A8 method (1992) are not usable when the substance shows tension-active properties.


The determination of the n-octanol/water partition coefficient of the constituents of
REACTION PRODUCTS BETWEEN C20/22 (even numbered) ALCOHOL AND
PHOSPHORIC ANHYDRIDE was realized with QSPR model adapted specifically from test guideline: OECD 107 or 123.


This QSPR model has been validated as a QSAR model to be compliant with the OECD recommendations for QSAR modeling (OECD, 2004) in as much as this is possible for this model and predicts the endpoint value which would be expected when testing the substance under experimental conditions in a laboratory following the Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No. 107 or 123 (OECD, 1995, 2006).


The results below are the log KOW values for the constituents of the test item, a UVCB substance, anticipated during to a study following the OECD Guideline No. 107 or 123. The log KOW are range from 9.5 to 22 as follows:
Constituents                                        log KOW at 25°C
1-Eicosanol, dihydrogen phosphate        9.5
1-Docosanol, dihydrogen phosphate       11
1-Eicosanol, hydrogen phosphate           20
1-Docosanol, hydrogen phosphate          22
1-Eicosanol                                                 9.7
1-Docosanol                                                11

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The results are also given as the log D for three different pHs (4; 7; 10) to take into account the concentration of the ionised form.

The partition coefficient of the registered substance was determined by QSAR following OECD 2004 Principles for the validation, for regulatory purposes, of (Quantitative) Structure Activity-Relationship Models.
