Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Link to relevant study record(s)
- Endpoint:
- partition coefficient
- Type of information:
- (Q)SAR
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2018-04-04
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
- Justification for type of information:
- According to ECHA´s Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment, Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance (July 2017), "if the test cannot be performed (e.g. the substance decomposes..), a calculated value for log P as well as details of the calculation method shall be provided". In the case of tert-Butyl glycidyl ether the test cannot be performed as during the test performance the test item may react with the alcohol octanol (nucleophil) under ring opening. Consequently, a decrease of test item concentration may occur leading to a wrong result.
According to the guidance document valid (Q)SARs for log Kow may be used when no experimental data of high quality are available. In addition, it is admitted that "due to the availability of large number of measured log Kow values and robust QSAR models for this property, the QSARs can, in some cases, predict the partition coefficient of a molecule with higher accuracy compared to a single test."
It is furthermore stated in the guidance document that "such valid QSAR models may be used if they are restricted to substances for which their applicability is well characterised". This applies to tert-Butyl glycidyl ether, which is considered to be in the applicability domain of the model (see QPRF). - Qualifier:
- according to guideline
- Guideline:
- other: Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6: QSARs and grouping of chemicals
- Version / remarks:
- May 2008
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- QSAR prediction using KOWWIN v1.68 of EpiSuite v4.11. QSAR calculation is based on the fragment constant methodology.
- GLP compliance:
- no
- Type of method:
- calculation method (fragments)
- Partition coefficient type:
- octanol-water
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Name: tert-Butyl glycidyl ether
SMILES: CC(C)(C)OCC1CO1 - Key result
- Type:
- log Pow
- Partition coefficient:
- 0.97
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Remarks on result:
- other: pH not available in QSAR prediction.
- Details on results:
- see QPRF/QMRF
- Conclusions:
- The estimated log Pow = 0.97 for tert-Butyl glycidyl ether is comparably low and suggests hydrophilic properties associated with a minor potential for adsorption and bioaccumulation.
- Executive summary:
The estimated log Pow = 0.97 for tert-Butyl glycidyl ether is comparably low and suggests hydrophilic properties associated with a minor potential for adsorption and bioaccumulation. tert-Butyl glycidyl ether is inside of the molecular weight range of both the training set compounds (ca. 18 - 720 g/mol) and the validation set compounds (ca. 27 - 991 g/mol), does not have more instances of a given fragment than the maximum for all training/validation set compounds, does not have additional functional group(s) or other structural features not represented in the training/validation set (and for which no fragment coefficient was developed), and is therefore considered to be in the applicability domain of the model. The final result is considered adequate for a regulatory conclusion.
