Endpoint:
dissociation constant
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 112 (Dissociation Constants in Water)
GLP compliance:
not specified
Dissociating properties:
yes
No.:
#1
pKa:
12.07
Temp.:
37 °C
Conclusions:
The pKa of BHT at 37 º C was 12.07 determined by microelectrometric titration.
Executive summary:

The pKa of BHT was determined by microelectrometric titration in 50 % ethanol-water solution and corrected to pKa in water solution at 37 ºC. The pKa of BHT was 12.07.

Description of key information

In a study 2,6 -di-tert-butyl-4 -methylphenol (BHT) was found to have a pKa dissociation constant of 12.2.

The pKa of BHT was determined by microelectrometric titration in 50 % ethanol-water solution and corrected to pKa in water solution at 37 ºC. The pKa of BHT was 12.07.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

pKa at 20°C:
