Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
partition coefficient
Type of information:
other: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
2014-2015
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
comparable to guideline study
Remarks:
The complete read across justification is detailed in section 13. Source study has reliability 1.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: OECD Guideline 105 (Water solubility)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Based on the differences in solubility of test item in water and in n-octanol, the log Pow determination corresponding to the OECD guideline 107 (shake flask method) is not feasible.
As test item cannot be chromatographed under the prescribed conditions, the HPLC-method (OECD guideline 117) is also not feasible.
Accordingly, log Pow can only be estimated from single solubilities of test item in water and in n-octanol.
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
flask method
Partition coefficient type:
octanol-water
Analytical method:
photometric method

Temp.:
20 °C
pH:

Remarks on result:
other: pH value of water solubility

The n-octanol solubility of test item at T = 20.0 ± 0.5 °C is 0.68 ± 0.13 mg/l.

Estimation of log Pow

With a water solubility of 136 g/l (see GLP-study no.14L00319 from BASF referred to section 4.8) and a solubility of 0.68 mg/l in n-octanol, the log Pow can be estimated from single solubilities as:

Pow = C(n-octanol) / C(water) = 0.68 mg/l / 136000 mg/l= 5E-6

log Pow = -5.3

Conclusions:
Partition coefficient of test substance was estimated to be log Pow= -5.3 at 20 °C and pH 7.
Executive summary:

Method

Estimation of partition coefficient by individual solubilities of test item in water and in n-octanol.

Results

log Pow = -5.3 at 20 °C and pH 7.

Remarks on result:
other: no data on pH and T

No other available information.

Conclusions:
logPow = -3
Executive summary:

Method

The test has been conducted according to EU method A.8. No other information on method is available.

Available information derives from a migrated NONS file, as per Article 25(3) request, and permission to refer is granted by ECHA.

Results

logPow = -3.

Description of key information

Negative: high affinity for the water phase.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Log Kow (Log Pow):
-3
at the temperature of:
20 °C

Additional information

No data on test substance itself was available. A weight of evidence approach was adopted, using Similar Substance 01 and 02 as read across substances. In particular, Similar Substance 01 is an isomer of test substance, differing only for the position of one functional group on an aromatic ring; Similar Substance 02 has structural similarity with test susbtance. A detailed justification of the read across process is attached in section 13.

Based on migrated information from NONS file, as per Article 25(3) request, Similar Substance 01 has log Pow = -3. Permission to refer is granted by ECHA.

As for Similar Substance 02, individual solubility in water and n-octanol was used to estimate the partition coefficient, leading to a log Pow = -5.3.

Overall, based on available data, partition coefficient of test item is expected to be negative, reasonably close to the experimental value of -3.
