log Kow = 1.66 (OECD 107, 1996)

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
- Defined endpoint: Adsorption coefficient (Koc).
- Unambiguous algorithm: 19 models have been developed for different chemical classes (see table 4 of the TGD part III).The chemical class “predominantly hydrophobics” is defined as compounds containing only carbon, hydrogen and halogen (F, Cl, Br, I) atoms, “nonhydrophobic chemicals” being all chemicals that cannot be classified as predominantly hydrophobics. Fourteen class-specific QSAR models were produced for all nonhydrophobic classes of chemicals, in order to give more appropriate equations. The test substance is considered nonhydrophobics. The corresponding equation is log Koc = 0.52*log Kow + 1.02
- Defined domain of applicability: The applicability domain of the sorption models developed by Sablji C and Güsten (1995) depends on the considered chemical class, and is based on logKow range (see table 5 of the TGD part III). The substance is within the validity domain of nonhydrophobics.
- Appropriate measures of goodness-of-fit and robustness and predictivity: For nonhydrophobics: n (number of data) = 390; R2 (correlation coefficient) = 0.63; s.e. (standard error of estimate) = 0.56.
- Mechanistic interpretation:No data

Executive summary:



Koc value of the substance has been assessed by using the TGD Part III table 4, non hydrophobics. The result is shown below:


- TGD non hydrophobics approach, log Koc =1.88, Koc (L/kg) = 76.42.
Therefore, the substance is considered as highly mobile in soils according to P.J. McCall et al., 1981.

Version / remarks:
May 2008
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The prediction of Koc for the registered substance was performed using the model KOCWIN v.2.00 (September 2008). The KOCWIN program estimates the organic carbon-normalised sorption coefficient for soil and sediment using two different models: the first based on the Sabljic molecular connectivity index and the second a QSAR applied to a measured log Kow value for the substance (attributed to McCall et al., 1981).

KOCWIN v2.00



test substance; SMILES: O=Cc(c(O)ccc1)c1



Method 1: Sabljic molecular connectivity index



KOC(L/kg):



14.53



Method 2: log Kow methodology determined from KOWWIN estimated values



KOC(L/kg):



60.38



Note: KOCmay vary significantly with pH. 


Conclusions:
KOCWIN predicts a logKOC value of 1.1623 (KOC =14.53 L/kg) for the registered substance, based on the first-order Sabljic molecular connectivity index (MCI), and a logKOC value of 1.7809 (KOC=60.38 L/kg) based on the log Kow methodology using the experimental value (1.66) as input in the model. KOC may vary significantly with pH.
Executive summary:

The adsorption coefficient (KOC) of the registered substance was estimated using the KOCWIN v2.00 QSAR model available from the US EPA. The estimated adsorption coefficient of the registered substance, based on the first-order Sablljic molecular connectivity index is 14.53 L/kg.


Additionally, log Kow methodology predicted a KOC value of 60.38 L/kg, calculated from an experimentally measured log Kow value for the registered substance that was used as an input into the QSAR model.

Description of key information

log Koc = 1.57; Koc = 37 L/kg; Geometric mean of QSAR predictions (KocWin MCI-method, KocWin LogKow method, TGD).

Additional information

According to the Koc value of 37 L/kg, Salicylaldehyde is very highly mobile in soils (McCall et al. 1981) and has a low adsorption to soil and sediment.
