Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference
Endpoint:
dissociation constant
Type of information:
calculation (if not (Q)SAR)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1992
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: Lit: D.D. Perrin, Boyd Dempsey and E.P. Serjeant, "pKa Preditction for Organic Acids and Bases" (1981) Chapman and Hall
Deviations:
not applicable
Principles of method if other than guideline:
A test according to OEC no. 112 was not possible due to the very low water solubility of 0.02 mg/l. Therefore, neither titrimetric nor spectroscopic or conductance methods were technically feasible. An estimation by calculation based on molecular fragments closely related to the structure of the substance was performed instead.
GLP compliance:
yes
Dissociating properties:
no
No.:
#1
pKa:
3.23 - 3.63
Temp.:
20 °C

The pKa was calculated to be 3.23 for Fragment I and 3.63 for Fragment II. Alternatively, considering that the molcule is completely symmetrical, a pKa of 3.49 was obtained.

Conclusions:
The pKa was calculated to be 3.23 - 3.63 at ambient temperature.
Executive summary:

The calculation was done in 1992. A test according to OEC no. 112 was not possible due to the very low water solubility of 0.02 mg/l. Therefore, neither titrimetric nor spectroscopic or conductance methods were technically feasible. An estimation by calculation based on molecular fragments closely related to the structure of the substance was performed instead and gave pKa values ranging from 3.2 to 3.6. The used calculation method was: D.D. Perrin, Boyd Dempsey and E.P. Serjeant, "pKa Preditction for Organic Acids and Bases" (1981) Chapman and Hall.

Description of key information

The calculation was done in 1992. A test according to OECD-guideline no. 112 was not possible due to the very low water solubility of 0.02 mg/L. Therefore, neither titrimetric nor spectroscopic or conductance methods were technically feasible. An estimation by calculation based on molecular fragments closely related to the structure of the substance was performed instead and gave pKa values ranging from 3.2 to 3.6. The used calculation method was: D.D. Perrin, Boyd Dempsey and E.P. Serjeant, "pKa Prediction for Organic Acids and Bases" (1981) Chapman and Hall.
