Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
November 20, 2008
Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a (Q)SAR model, with limited documentation / justification, but validity of model and reliability of prediction considered adequate based on a generally acknowledged source
Remarks:
According to the ACD/pKa Web service provided by Advanced Chemistry Development, Inc. and it is not GLP.

Conclusions:
The nitrogen atom in the structure of the substance is protoned at pH -1.04 and below. At pH 13.98 the nitrogen atom is deprotonated and at pH 15.63 also the hydroxyl group. In the environmentally relevant pH range (pH4 to pH9) is the susbtance neutral form existing.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this study was to estimate the dissociation constant (pKa-values) of the susbtance.

In the environmentally relevant pH range (pH 4 to pH 9) of the susbtance is present in its neutral form and not dissociated or protonated. The pKas' of the substance have been calculated with the prediction module of ACD/I-Lab Web service (ACD/pka 8.03). The respective pKa's of the different possible forms have been predicted to be:

pKa=15.63±0.10

pKa=13.98±0.46

pKa=-1.04±0.70

Description of key information

In the environmentally relevant pH range (pH4 to pH9), the parent substance (amide) is in the neutral form (i.e. no pH-dependency).

Transformation products (carboxylates) are expected to be at least partially ionised.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The purpose of this study was to estimate the dissociation constant (pKa-values) of the substance.

The pKas of a representative major constituent of the substance have been calculated with the prediction module of ACD/I-Lab Web service (ACD/pka 8.03).

The nitrogen atom in the structure is protoned at pH -1.04 and below. At pH 13.98 the nitrogen atom is deprotonated and at pH 15.63 also the hydroxyl group. Therefore, no key value is relevant for the environmental assessment.

As supporting information, literature provides a pKa of 4.95 for lauric acid, which is an analogue of the expected transformation products. Therefore, these compounds are expected to be partially ionised in acidic medium, and totally ionised in alkaline conditions.
