HPLC METHOD CONDITIONS:
Instrument: Acquity UPLC system (Waters, Milford, MA, USA)
Detector: Acquity UPLC TUV detector (Waters)
Column: Acquity UPLC HSS, 50 mm x 2.1 mm i.d., dp = 1.8 µm (Waters)
Column temperature: 35°C ± 1°C
Mobile phase: 30/70 (v/v) methanol/water
Flow : 0.4 mL/min
Injection volume: 5 μL
UV detection: 210 nm
REFERENCE SUBSTANCES: acetanilide; Monuron; 2,5-dichloroaniline; benzoic acid phenylester and Fenthion
Unretained compound: Formamide
PREPARATION OF SOLUTIONS:
Solution of the unretained compound
A 5.22 g/L stock solution of formamide in methanol was used. The stock solution was diluted to obtain an end solution of 30/70 (v/v) methanol/water. The formamide blank solution was 30/70 (v/v) methanol/water.
Reference substance solutions
Stock solutions of the reference substances at concentrations of approximately 1 g/L in methanol were used. The stock solutions were diluted to obtain an end solution of 30/70 (v/v) methanol/water. The blank solution for the reference substance solutions was 30/70 (v/v) methanol/water.
Test solution
A 2180 mg/L stock solution of the test substance was prepared in methanol. The stock solution was diluted to obtain an end solution of 30/70 (v/v) methanol/water. The final concentration of the test substance solution was 9.98 mg/L. The test substance blank solution was 30/70 (v/v) methanol/water.
The reference substance and test substance solutions were injected in duplicate. Blank solutions were analysed by single injection.
PERFORMANCE OF THE STUDY
Solutions of reference substances with known log Koc values based on soil adsorption data and the test substance were analysed. The capacity factor (k') of each compound was calculated from its retention time. The log k’ values of the references substances were plotted against the known log Koc values. A linear regression program was used to calculate the calibration curve. Linear regression analysis was performed using the least squares method. The coefficient of correlation (r) was calculated. The log Koc value for the test substance was calculated by substituting its mean log k’ in the calibration curve: log k’ = 0.709 x log Koc – 0.978 (r = 0.94, n = 12). The value of log Koc obtained from duplicate measurements was within ± 0.25 log units. - Analytical monitoring:

- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

- Justification for type of information:
- 1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The substance Accelerator (Reaction mass of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol and 2-[[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl](4-methylphenyl)amino]-ethanol)) is a structural analogue of 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol. Accelerator contains ca. 50-60% of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol as the main constituent. The only difference between 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol and the target chemical 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol is the position of the methyl group in the phenyl ring (para vs meta with regard to the imino group). This is not expected to have any significant influnce either on physico-chemical properties or on toxicological behavior of the substances. Next to 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol Accelerator contains ca. 35-45% of 2-{[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl](4-methylphenyl)amino}ethanol, which contains the same structural moiety of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol, but with one ethanol moiety transformed into the ester bond with ethylene glycol. As Accelerator contains over 50% of the structural analogue of 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol, with the only difference being the position of the methyl group in the phenyl ring, it is considered acceptable to read across the results of the adsorption/desorption study from Accelerator to 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
The source chemical is Accelerator (Reaction mass of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol and 2-[[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl](4-methylphenyl)amino]-ethanol)), containing ca. 50-60% of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol, ca. 35-45% of 2-{[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl](4-methylphenyl)amino}ethanol and ca. 2-4% of 2-[{2-[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethoxy]ethyl}(4-methylphenyl)amino]ethanol. The purity of the substance is ca. 90-100%.
The target chemical is 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol with the purity of 90-10%. The substance contains up to 7% 2-{[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl](3-methylphenyl)amino}ethanol as an impurity.
3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
The substance Accelerator (Reaction mass of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol and 2-[[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl](4-methylphenyl)amino]-ethanol)) is a structural analogue of 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol. Accelerator contains ca. 50-60% of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol as the main constituent. The only difference between 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol and the target chemical 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol is the position of the methyl group in the phenyl ring (para vs meta with regard to the imino group). As adsorption/desorption coefficient depends on physico-chemical properties of the substance, i.e. octanol-water partition coefficient and water solubility, the difference in the position of the methyl group of the phenyl ring is not expected to have a significant influence on the Koc value. Moreover, in the adsorption/desorption study conducted with Accelerator separate peaks on the chromatogram were identified for different constituents. Based on the peak areas and the composition of the substance, it is possible to identify the peak corresponding to 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol and thus to read-across the Koc value derived for 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol to its meta-isomer 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol.
Furthermore, the data matrix constructed based on the available physico-chemical and (eco)toxicological properties of both substances indicates that the substances have comparable properties across the complete range of endpoints.
Based on this, read-across from Accelerator to 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol is considered to be justified.

As Accelerator contains ca. 50-60% of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol, it is feasible to assume that the largest peak on the chromatogram corresponded to 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol. As 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol differs from the target chemical 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol only by the position of the methyl group in the phenyl ring it is possible to read across the log Koc value of 2.22 derived for 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol to 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed with a structural analogue of 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol, Accelerator (Reaction mass of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol and 2-[[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl](4-methylphenyl)amino]-ethanol). The HPLC method (in accordance with EC C.19 and OECD 121 and in compliance with GLP) was used to determine the adsorption coefficient (soil) of the test substance. The HPLC chromatogram of the test solution showed four major peaks (with peak areas of 52%, 38%, 4.9% and 2.4%). The log Koc values for the major peaks were 2.22, 2.44, 2.51 and 2.67, respectively. Considering that Accelerator contains > 50% of the structural analogue 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol which differs from the target chemical 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol only by a position of the methyl group in the phenyl ring, it is logical to assume that the major peak with the area of 52% corresponds to 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol. As the position of the methyl group is not expected to have any influence on the absorption/desorption coefficient, the result of log Koc of 2.22 derived for 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol can be read across to 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol.

Description of key information
In a GLP-compliant guideline study performed with a structural analogue of 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol, Accelerator, 4 major peaks were identified on the HPLC chromatogram with peak areas of 52%, 38%, 4.9% and 2.4%. As Accelerator contains ca. 50-60% of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol, it is feasible to assume that the largest peak on the chromatogram corresponded to 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol. As 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol differs from the target chemical 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol only by the position of the methyl group in the phenyl ring, it is considered possible to read across the log Koc value of 2.22 derived for 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol to 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol.

Additional information
A study was performed with a structural analogue of 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol, Accelerator (Reaction mass of 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol and 2-[[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl](4-methylphenyl)amino]-ethanol). The HPLC method (in accordance with EC C.19 and OECD 121 and in compliance with GLP) was performed to determine the adsorption coefficient (soil) of the test substance. The HPLC chromatogram of the test solution showed four major peaks (with peak areas of 52%, 38%, 4.9% and 2.4%). The log Koc values for the major peaks were 2.22, 2.44, 2.51 and 2.67, respectively. Considering that Accelerator contains > 50% of the structural analogue 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol which differs from the target chemical 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol only by a position of the methyl group in the phenyl ring, it is logical to assume that the major peak with the area of 52% corresponds to 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol. As the position of the methyl group is not expected to have any influence on the adsorption/desorption coefficient, the result of log Koc of 2.22 derived for 2,2'-[(4-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol can be read across to 2,2'-[(3-methylphenyl)imino]bisethanol.
