- Executive summary:
The purpose of the study was to determine the dissociation contants of test item 2-methyl-p-phenylenediamine via OECD Guideline 112 (Dissociation Constants in Water).
A set of five determinations were carried out prior to the four determinations which have been used to calculate the dissociation constants. The data yielded by the previous five determinations was not suitable for use in calculating the dissociation constants because of poor replication. The time between the preparation of the samples and titration was not controlled and was thought to be the source of the variation in the data between replicates. Therefore, another 4 determinations were carried out, and this time the titrations were carried out immediately after the preparation of each sample. The data was more consistent between the determinations and was used to calculate the dissociation constants.The inner five of the set of nine values of dissociation constant were used to calculate the mean dissociation constant values for each determination. This was justified by the fact that any errors resulting from the presence of impurities and inaccuracies in adding the titrant are likely to be more evident in the outer values.
The dissociation constants of the two amine functional groups at 25°C were determined by potentiometric titration to be 5.89 and 2.66.
