Constituent 3
Reference substance name:
3-methylaniline
IUPAC Name:
3-methylaniline
Constituent 4
Reference substance name:
4-methylaniline
IUPAC Name:
4-methylaniline
Details on test material:
Aniline: purity = pro analysis; LogPoct=1.03 (0.90); Mol weight= 93.13;Chs= 0.00
2-methylaniline: purity >= 99.5%; LogPoct=1.54; Mol weight= 107.16;Chs= 0.10
3-methylaniline: purity >= 99%; LogPoct=1.54; Mol weight= 107.16;Chs= - 0.07
4-methylaniline: purity > 97%; LogPoct=1.54; Mol weight= 107.16;Chs= -0.17
Chs: Hammett sigma constant, which is dependent on the position of the substituent.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Remarks:
No mortality in the controls.
Conclusions:
Aniline appeared to be slightly toxic to fish (LC50> 100 mg/L), while the methylated anilines were more toxic with LC50 values between 10 and 100 mg/L.
