Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

read-across source
Key result
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
8.6
Temp.:
25 °C
pH:
5.3
Endpoint:
partition coefficient
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
From 06 June 2016 to 01 February 2017
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across: supporting information
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 117 (Partition Coefficient (n-octanol / water), HPLC Method)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
Type of method:
HPLC method
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Analytical method:
high-performance liquid chromatography
Type:
log Pow
Partition coefficient:
8.6
Temp.:
40 °C
pH:
5.3
Details on results:
The reference Pow-values in the OECD-guideline presumably refer to 25 °C. Even though the column temperature was 40 °C, this temperature is without influence on the result of the determination. The calibration was done referring to Pow- values of reference substances determined at 25 °C.
The chromatogram of the test item showed 1 signal eluting at 20.3 minutes. No calibration substance with a Pow–value above the value for the signal of the test item was available. For this reason the results for this signal was extrapolated.

The pKa values, calculated with the software ACD/Labs/Percepta 14.0.0 Release 2012 at the structure of the test item, were:


pKa(Acid): No acid pKa


First pKa(Base): - 4.5 +/- 0.2


Second pKa(Base): -0.9 +/- 0.2


Therefore the undissociated form (nonionic from) of the test item exists at a pH value > -0.9 and the test can be carried out in buffered water at pH 5.

Conclusions:
The partition coefficient (logPow) of the test item was determined to be 8.6 at 25 °C (pH 5.3).
Executive summary:

The partition coefficient of the test item was determined by the HPLC-method according to OECD TG 117, and under GLP.


The system was calibrated with six reference substances. The partition coefficient was determined to be 8.6 at 40°C, and is considered to also refer to 25 °C. All validity criteria were met.

Description of key information

Additional information

This endpoint was covered by read-across of a study of 1,4-bis[(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)amino]anthraquinone. This read-across is justified as both substances have very similar chemical structures, the main physicochemical parameters (vapour pressure, water solubility and dissociation constant) are in the same range and further all available toxicological studies for both substances revealed the same results. Therefore a read-across for other physicochemical, ecotoxicological or toxicological endpoints seems to be justified. More details about the read-across justification are displayed in a detailed document attached to the Annex of the CSR.
