Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Software tool(s) used including version: EPIWIN v4.1
- Model(s) used: KOWWIN v1.68
- Model description: see field 'Attached justification'

Specific details on test material used for the study:
CC(N)C(O)=O
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
-2.99
Temp.:
25 °C
Remarks on result:
other: pH value not specified in QSAR model

The substance falls within the molecular weight range of the training set. In addition, there are no structural features in the substance not covered by substances of the training set. Therefore, the substance lies within the applicability domain of the model.

Conclusions:
logKow = -2.99
Executive summary:

The logKow of DL-Alanine (CAS 307 -72 -7) was predicted with the QSAR model KOWWIN v1.68. It was predicted to be -2.99.

Conclusions:
Log Kow = -2.85
Executive summary:

According to the LOGKOW database from Sangster J. (a databank of evaluated octanol-water partition coefficients (Log P), available from, as of Sept 5, 2006) the log Kow of DL-Alanine is -2.85.

No further details are reported on the determination but the LogKow Database is maintained and updated regularly by Dr. James Sangster, an internationally recognized authority in the field. A LogKow value is only as reliable as the accuracy of its measurement and publications included in the Database are of high quality and accuracy.

Description of key information

According to the LOGKOW database from Sangster J. (a databank of evaluated octanol-water partition coefficients (Log P), available from, as of Sept 5, 2006) the log Kow of DL-Alanine is -2.85. A temperature was not stated, but the experimental derived value is supported by QSAR:

The logKow of DL-Alanine (CAS 307 -72 -7) was predicted with the QSAR model KOWWIN v1.68. It was predicted to be -2.99.

For CSA the experimental value of -2.85 for partition coefficient is chosen.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-2.85
at the temperature of:
25 °C

Additional information

Unfortunately no temperature is given for Log Kow in database, therefore for CSR 25 °C as room conditions was chosen.
