2-pyridylmethanol

Boiling point

Administrative data

Endpoint:

boiling point

Type of information:

(Q)SAR

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification

Justification for type of information:

1. SOFTWARE: MPBPWIN version 1.43; integrated within the Estimation Programme Interface (EPI) Suite programme for Microsoft Windows v4.11; September 2010 (model development); November 2012 (model publication)

2. MODEL (incl. version number): MPBPWIN version 1.43

3. SMILES OR OTHER IDENTIFIERS USED AS INPUT FOR THE MODEL: CAS RN

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL: MPBPWIN estimates the normal boiling point using an adaptation of the Stein and Brown (1994) method which is an extension and refinement of the Joback method (Joback, 1982; Reid et al, 1987). The Stein and Brown (1994) method is a group contribution QSAR (quantitative structure activity relationship) method that calculates boiling point (Tb) of a compound by adding group increment values according to the relationship:
Tb = 198.2 + Σ ( ni * gi )
where
gi is a group increment value and ni is the number of times the group occurs in the compound.

The Stein and Brown (1994) method was developed using a training dataset of boiling points for 4426 diverse organic compounds collected from the Aldrich Handbook (Aldrich, 1990). MPBPWIN incorporates additional extensions to Stein and Brown Method such as (1) new group contributions missing from Brown and Stein (e.g. thiophosphorus [P=S], quaternary ammonium) and (2) correction factors for specific types of compounds (e.g. amino acids, various aromatic nitrogen rings, and phosphates).

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN:
(i) All constituents fall within the Molecular Weight ranges domain.
(ii) No substances have functional groups or features not in the training set of the model and/or for which no fragment constants and correction factors available. No constituents contain multiple fragment instances than the maximum of the training set.

6. ADEQUACY OF THE RESULT:
a) QSAR model is scientifically valid.
b) The substance falls within the applicability domain of the QSAR model.
c) The prediction is fit for regulatory purpose.

The prediction is adequate as supporting information for the Classification and Labelling or risk assessment of the substance as indicated in REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006: Annex XI Section 1.3.
