1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The source test material 1,1,3-trimethyl-3-phenylindan [CAS no 6362-80-7] is a constituent of the target substance representing the dimeric fraction of the oligomerisation products.
The target substance ‘Naphtha (petroleum), steam-cracked, C8-10 aromatic hydrocarbon fraction, alkylated and oligomerised’ (NAF-AO) [EC no. 701-299-207] consists of a complex mixture of numerous aryl-aliphatic constituents. Its components can basically divided into groups corresponding to their level of oligomerisation (dimers, trimers, tetramers).
Being a constituent of the target substance NAF-AO, test results of the source substance represent at least in part the properties of NAF-AO with regard to phototransformation in air.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
The source substance 1,1,3-trimethyl-3-phenylindan is a constituent of the target substance NAF-AO. It is a dimerisation product of aryl-olefinic components ((methyl-)2-phenylpropene, (methyl)indene) in the starting material. Its concentration in NAF-AO is ca. 3 to 15%. It is representative for the total group of dimeric constituents in NAF-AO, which amount to about 20 to 70%. A the study covers (Q)SAR calculations for the substance, information on analytical purity is not relevant.
The target substance NAF-AO is a UVCB substance obtained in an acid catalysed alkylation and oligomerisation reaction of the starting material ‘Naphtha (petroleum), steam-cracked, C8-10 aromatic hydrocarbon fraction’. This material comprises predominantly styrene and indene derivatives. In the production process, oligomerisation products of C8-10 aromatic hydrocarbons are formed consisting of dimeric, trimeric, and oligomeric (n ≥ 4) products. These products consist of two, three, or more aromatic rings connected by methyl-substituted alkenyl carbon-chains (dimers, trimers, oligomers). The aromatic substituents include besides benzene also indan. Based on the degree of oligomerisation, constituents are combined into the three different groups, the dimers, trimers, and higher oligomers. Depending on the type of technical product (Novares L 100, L 700, TL 10), composition with respect to different component groups will vary (dimers from ca. 20 to 70%, trimers from ca. 10 to 30%, higher oligomers from ca. 15 to 50%).
NAF-AO is a viscous oily material with a low water solubility (between 0.6 and 1.3 mg/L depending on its composition). Values for water solubility obtained by (Q)SAR (US EPA EPI suite) for individual model constituents are lower (between 0.082 and 0.038 mg/L for dimers and between 0.011 and 0.027 mg/L for trimers). Overall, the water solubility of NAF-AO is low to very low depending on the technical product and its composition (higher percentages of trimers and higher oligomers will reduce the water solubility).
3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
Properties of the target substance NAF-AO relevant for phototransformation in air will be determined by the properties of its constituents. Under environmental conditions or during processing of the target substance, environmentally available or volatile components can be released. Out of the dimers, trimers, and oligomers, this will primarily be the dimers.
All constituents in combination will specify the distribution properties and fate in air of the substance NAF-AO as such. Half-live in air will be determined by the half-lives of its constituents. Therefore, it is justified to use data determined for a constituent of NAF-AO that represents the dimers fraction (1,1,3-trimethyl-3-phenylindan), in a weight of evidence approach to characterise the photochemical degradation in air of NAF-AO. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

In general, phototransformation half-lives for all substances are short (below 1 day). Within the same molecular size (dimers or trimers), half-lives change depending on the structure of the substance (indan derivatives > 1-olefines > 2-olefines). Within the same substance class, half-lives decrease with increasing size (dimer to trimer).
