Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Carboxylic acid pKa value: 2.3 (equivalent Ka = 5 x 10e-3)
Phenolic pKa value: 6.4 (equivalent Ka = 4 x 10e-7)
Executive summary:

The study was conducted to determine the dissociation constant of the test substance by the potentiometric titration method according to the guidelines OECD Method 112 and EPA/OCSPP 830.7370.


The results from the dissociation constant assessment, showed that the test substance had at least two pKa values. The first was due to the carboxylic acid group and was determined to be 2.3 (equivalent Ka = 5 x 10e-3), while the second was considered to be due to the phenolic group and was determined to be 6.4 (equivalent Ka = 4 x 10e-7).
