- Details on results:
- The Kow values ranged from 4.83 to 6.48 for all six samples. The average Kow values were 5.67, 4.87 and 6.45 for the 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 octanol: water ratio. The overall average Kow was 5.66, and overall RSD% was 14%.
The log Kow values ranged from 0.684 to 0.812 for all six samples. The average log Kow values were 0.754, 0.687 and 0.810 for the 1:1, 1:2 and 2:1 octanol: water ratio. The overall average log Kow was 0.750, RSD% of log values were not calculated.
The cation CCVs recoveries were < 75% for CCV samples with cation concentrations of ≤ 77.5 ng/mL (≤ 100 ng/mL MTDID 15670). The CCV recoveries for cation concentration range of 194 - 775 ng/mL (250 -1000 ng/mL MTDID 15670) have recoveries of 83.2 - 94.3%. Since the measured on-column cation concentration were within the range of 194 ng/mL and 775 ng/mL, the low recoveries for CCV samples with ≤ 77.5 ng/mL MTDID15670 cation concentration would not affect the measured MTDID 15670 cation concentrations in the samples.
The average mass balance for measured MTDID 15670 in water and octanol versus the known amount added was 100% (RSD=5.7%) for all three different ratios of octanol/ water tested (data not shown).
MTDID15670 cation is subject to rapid hydrolysis at pH 7 and 23 °C. The measured cation concentrations in water may be underestimated values, which may result in overestimated Kow values. Therefore, the log Kow is reported as ≤ 0.750. - Conclusions:
- Log Kow of MTDID 15670 was measured to be ≤ 0.750 under the condition of this study.
- Executive summary:
The n-Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient (log Kow) of MTDID was determined according to U.S EPA guidance document OPPTS 830.7550 "Partition Coefficient (n-Octanol/Water), Shake Flask Method".
Duplicate samples of MTDID 15670 were prepared in each of the three octanol/water ratios (1:1, 1:2, and 2:1). The six samples were rotated 180 ° about their transverse axis for 3600 rotations over a period of 2 hours to ensure proper mixing of the test system solvents. The samples were then centrifuged at 1500 RPM for 10 minutes to facilitate phase separation. Duplicate aliquots of n-octanol phase were carefully removed. The octanol phase samples were diluted with methanol, then further diluted with aqueous 0.1% acetic acid containing PhI-Urea (IS) for cation analysis, or with water containing PFBS (IS) for anion analysis. After the octanol phase sample removal, duplicate water phase samples were carefully removed and the pH of each aqueous samples were measured. The water phase samples were diluted with aqueous 0.1% acetic acid with PhI-Urea (IS) intended for cation analysis, or with water with PFBS (IS) for anion analysis.
MTDID 15670 contains asulfonium cation and a tetrafluoroborate anion components. The cation and anion concentration were measured independently in each of the samples, and MTDID 15670 concentration was determined by summing the measured cation and anion concentration in each of the octanol phase and water phase.
The determined Kow for MTDID 15670 was 5.66 (RSD 14%) and calculated to a log Kow of 0.750. The average mass balance for measured MTDID 15670 in water and octanol versus the known amount added was 100% (RSD=5.7%) for all three different ratios of octanol/ water tested.
This is a guideline study conducted under GLP compliance. However, MTDID15670 cation is subject to rapid hydrolysis at pH 7 and 23 °C. The measured cation concentrations in water may be underestimated values, which may result in overestimated Kow values. Therefore, the log Kow is reported as ≤ 0.750. This is considered reliable with restrictions, and adequate for risk assessment and PBT purposes.

- Details on results:
- Two experiments were conducted to measure the solubility of MTDID 15670 in octanol and in water, respectively. Since MTDID 15670 contains a sulfonium cation and a tetrafluoroborate anion components, the cation and anion concentrations in each of octanol and water were measured independently, and MTDID 15670 solubility in octanol and in water were determined by summing the measured cation and anion concentration in each of the octanol and water solvent.
The overall average solubility of MTDID 15670 in octanol was 6120 mg/L as measured in a preliminary study (E16-0636). The overall average solubility of MTDID 15670 in water was 1010 mg/L as measured in a GLP and guideline study (GLP16-0008).
Based on these individually measured solubilities, the Kow was calculated as the ratio of MTDID 15670 concentration in octanol/MTDID15670 concentration in water. The calculated Kow for MTDID 15670 was 6.06, the calculated log Kow was 0.78. However, the MTDID15670 waster solubility was measured at pH 2, and is disregarded study due to unsuitable test system. - Conclusions:
- The calculated log Kow was disregarded due to unsuitable test system for the water solubility study.
- Executive summary:
The partition coefficient of a test substance may be estimated based on the ratio of individual measured n-octanol and water solubility.
Two separate studies were conducted to measure the solubility of MTDID 15670 in n-octanol and in water, respectively. The overall average solubility of MTDID 15670 in octanol was 6120 mg/L as measured in a preliminary study (E16-0636). The overall average solubility of MTDID 15670 in water was 1010 mg/L as measured in a GLP and guideline study (GLP16-0008). Based on these individually measured solubility, the calculated Kow for MTDID 15670 was 6.06, the calculated log Kow was 0.78.
The measured octanol solubility is considered reliable with restriction. However, the MTDID15670 water solubility was measured at pH 2, and is a disregarded study due to unsuitable test system. Consequently, the calculated log Kow is also a disregarded study.

- Conclusions:
- Dodecyl ethyl sulfide is a hydrolysis product of MTDID 15670. Dodecyl ethyl sulfide has an estimated log Kow of 6.81 using KOWWIN v1.68 as implemented through EPISuite v4.11.
- Executive summary:
Dodecyl ethyl sulfide is identified as one of the hydrolysis products of MTDID 15670. The logarithm of the partition coefficient n-octanol/water (log Kow) of dodecyl ethyl sulfide was estimated to be 6.81 using the KOWWIN v1.68 QSAR as implemented through EPI Suite v4.11. The software is an accepted, valid model for estimation of partition coefficient. The structure of dodecyl ethyl sulfide is within the parametric domain of the model (molecular weight, maximum number of structural fragments per structure, predicted log Kow).

Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The n-Octanol/Water Partition Coefficient (log Kow) of MTDID 15670 was measured according to U.S EPA guidance document OPPTS 830.7550 "Partition Coefficient (n-Octanol/Water), Shake Flask Method". Duplicate samples of MTDID 15670 were prepared in each of the three octanol/water ratios (1:1, 1:2, and 2:1) and analyzed using LC/MS/MS. MTDID 15670 contains a sulfonium cation and a tetrafluoroborate anion components. The cation and anion concentration were measured independently in each of the samples, and MTDID 15670 concentration was the sum of the measured cation and anion concentration in each of the octanol phase and water phase. This is a guideline study conducted under GLP compliance. However, MTDID15670 cation is subject to rapid hydrolysis at pH 7 and 23 °C. The measured cation concentrations in water may be underestimated values, which may result in overestimated Kow values. Therefore, the log Kow is reported as ≤ 0.750. This is considered reliable with restrictions (Klimisch 2) and a key study, and is adequate for risk assessment and PBT purposes.
The partition coefficient of MTDID 15670 was also estimated based on the ratio of individually measured n-octanol and water solubility. However, the MTDID15670 water solubility was measured at pH 2, and is a disregarded study due to unsuitable test system. Consequently, the calculated log Kow is also a disregarded study (Klimisch 3).
MTDID 15670 dissociates in water and is subject to hydrolysis. The identified products are crotononitrile, dodecyl ethyl sulfide, and BF4(-) anion. The BF4(-) anion is an inorganic compound and the partition coefficient property does not apply.
The log Kow values of crotononitrile and dodecyl ethyl sulfide were estimated using the KOWWIN v1.68 QSAR as implemented through EPI Suite v4.11. The software is an accepted, valid model for estimation of partition coefficient. The use of this QSAR to predict log Kow for these compounds was determined to be applicable and reliable based on representation of analogous substances within the training set and performance statistics derived from a comparison of experimental and estimated log Kow values for representative analogous substances. Crotononitrile has an estimated log Kow of 0.62. Dodecyl ethyl sulfide has an estimated log Kow of 6.81. These studies are classified as acceptable QSARs and satisfy the requirements for partition coefficient study and are supporting studies. They are pertinent to the fate of MTDID 15670 and may be used for risk analysis, classification and labelling, and PBT analysis.
