Based on the results of the available studies, the boiling points values were ranged from 264.5°C to 346°C for the members of the category tested at atmospheric pressure. The boiling points were lower when tested at weaker pressure. The boiling point is a property which shows positive correlation with the increase of molecular weight and carbon chain length. Since the target substance has the lowest molecular weight and the shortest alkyl chain, its boiling point can be associated to it nearest category member, ethyl undecylenate (only one carbon in addition), which shows a boiling point of 264.5 °C.
Therefore the boiling point of ethyl decanoate is estimated to be ≤ 264.5 °C at 1013 hPa based on the category approach.
Description of key information
According to the read across category approach, the boiling point for the target substance can be considered as ≤ 264.5 °C measured as atmospheric pressure.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
- Boiling point at 101 325 Pa:
- 264.5 °C
Additional information
Justification and rationale of the category approach for Ethyl Caprate
This category group covers fatty acid chains linked to alcohols via an ester function. It includes mono-constituent substances and UVCB substances with varying fatty acid chain lengths from C8 to C18-unsaturated and alcohol types (including ethanol, isopropanol, octanol, hexanol and 2-ethylhexanol). This category group was made in order to provide sufficient information for physico-chemical, environmental, ecotoxicological and toxicological characterization of ethyl decanoate (CAS 110-38-3).
This category includes:
- Target substance:
o Ethyl decanoate (CAS 110-38-3)
- Source substances:
o Ethyl undecylenate (CAS 692-86-4)
o Isopropyl laurate (CAS 10233-13-3)
o Octyl octanoate (CAS 2306-88-9)
o Isopropyl myristate (CAS 110-27-0)
o Dodecanoic hexyl ester (CAS 34316-64-8)
o Ethyl linoleate (CAS 544-35-4)
o Ethyl oleate (CAS 111-62-6)
o 2-Ethylhexyl laurate (CAS 20292-08-4)
o Fatty acids, coco, 2-ethylhexyl esters (CAS 92044-87-6)
Summary of available studies on source substances for the melting point determination.
All the members of the category were tested for their boiling points, apart from Dodecanoic hexyle ester and Ethyl linoleate. Some members were tested at lower vapour pressure like isopropyl myristate (tested at 26.7 hPa) and Ethyl oleate (tested at 20 hPa) with boiling points of 193°C and 216°C, respectively. For the substances tested at atmospheric pressure, the values ranged from 264.5°C for Ethyl undecylenate (substance source with the lowest molecular weight), that is the nearest substance to the target substance, to the value of 346°C with decomposition, for the substance Fatty acids, coco, 2-ethylhexyl ester, which shows the highest molecular weight.
Conclusion
According to the Regulation (EC) NO. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5, a Read-Across Category for Medium Chain Fatty Acid (from C8 to C18 unsat.) and alcohol esters (from C2 to C8) was performed in order to provide information on Ethyl Caprate.
This category was based on common and shared properties as:
- common functional group,
- common precursors and the likelihood of common impurities resulting from common process of manufacturing,
- chemically structurally similar breakdown products obtained via the same biological processes into the organisms, and
- constant pattern in the changing of the potency of the properties across the category.
Taking into account the category approach, and more specifically the boiling point obtained Ethyl undecylenate which is the nearest substance to the target substance in term of structure and molecular weight, Ethyl decanoate was considered to have a boiling point ≤ 264.5°C at atmospheric pressure.
