2.1	Date of QPRF	See “Data Source (Reference)”
2.2	QPRF author and contact details	See “Data Source (Reference)”
3.	Prediction
3.1	Endpoint (OECD Principle 1)	Endpoint	Phototransformation in air
		Dependent variable	Hydroxyl reaction rate constant (cm^3/molecule*sec)
3.2		Model or submodel name	AOPWIN
		Model version	1.92
		Reference to QMRF	QMRF: Estimation of Atmospheric Degradation Using AOPWIN v1.92 (EPI Suite v4.11): Hydroxyl Radical Reaction
		Predicted value (model result)	See “Results and discussion”
		Input for prediction	- Chemical structure via CAS number or SMILES
		Descriptor values	- Structure fragments
3.3	Algorithm (OECD Principle 2)	Domain (On-Line AOPWIN User’s Guide): As the complete training sets for AOPWIN's estimation methodology are not available, describing a precise estimation domain for this methodology is not possible. There is no information on the number of instances of fragments in the training dataset.
		If the substance is a member of one of the following chemical classes, the substance is probably within the applicability domain of the model (based on information by other authors, e.g. Posthumus and Slooff, 2001): alkanes, haloalkanes, alkenes, haloalkenes, polyenes, terpenes, alkynes, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, glycols, ethers, esters, epoxides, thiols, thioethers, aliphatic amines, hydrazines, nitrites, nitrates, nitriles, P-containing organics, aromatic compounds (alkylbenzenes, halobenzenes, phenols, PAHs, styrene, methoxybenzene, aniline, nitrobenzene, biphenyl, dibenzofurans, dibenzodioxins)		Fulfilled. The substance is an aniline.
		The substance is not within the applicability domain of the model if it is a perhalogenated alkanes.		The substance is not a perhalogenated alkanes.
		Substance is a secondary, tertiary and heterocyclic amine. Estimated values highly uncertain.		Substance is not a secondary, tertiary and heterocyclic amine.
3.4	The uncertainty of the prediction (OECD principle 4)	- n = 667 - correlation coefficient r^2= 0.963 - standard deviation = 0.218 - absolute mean error = 0.127 - 90% of the estimated rate constants within a factor of two of the experimental data - 95% of the estimated rate constants within a factor of three of the experimental data
3.5	The chemical mechanisms according to the model underpinning the predicted result (OECD principle 5)	Reaction rate constants for hydroxyl radicals are the summation of the following mechanisms: (1) Hydrogen abstraction (2) Reaction with specific nitrogen and sulphur fragments and reaction with hydroxyl (OH) fragments such as alcohols and phenols (3) Addition to triple bonds (4) Addition to olefinic bonds (5) Addition to aromatic rings (6) Addition to fused rings The model works according to the group contribution method which uses fragments and the corresponding reaction values to estimate the reaction rate constant of a given substance.
