pKa Values

No pKa values for basic groups in the molecular structure of the test item in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 were calculated.

The pKa values in the logarithm range of 1 - 14 for acidic groups in the molecular structure of the test item were calculated using the Perrin calculation method.  The results are given in Table 12.

UPLC-UV chromatograms of the test item solution and corresponding blank are shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11, respectively.  In the chromatogram of the test solution, one test item peak was observed.

The results of the HPLC method are given in Table 13.  Figure 12 shows the calibration curve of the log k’ of the reference substances as function of log Koc.  The equation of the regression line was: log k’ = 0.309 × log Koc – 0.814 (r = 0.983, n = 14).

UPLC-UV chromatograms of the test item solution and the corresponding blank are shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14, respectively.  In the chromatogram of the test item solution, one peak with a retention time of 0.497 minutes was observed.  Under the same analytical conditions, the retention time of acetanilide (log Koc = 1.26) was 0.902 minutes.  It was concluded that the log Koc of test item was < 1.26 (Koc < 1.82 × 101).

Validity criteria fulfilled:
yes
Conclusions:
The HPLC method using soil-adsorption-reference was applied for the determination of the adsorption coefficient (Koc) of 2-Benzoylbenzoic acid.

The Koc and log Koc values of the test item at pH 2 and pH 7 were:
pH 2: Koc = 67, Log Koc = 1.83
pH 7: Koc = < 18, Log Koc < 1.26
Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 121) study conducted with GLP certification, the test material (EC 201-612-2) was determined to have the following adsorption coefficients:
