Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Maleic anhydride
EC Number:
203-571-6
EC Name:
Maleic anhydride
Cas Number:
108-31-6
Molecular formula:
C4H2O3
IUPAC Name:
furan-2,5-dione
Details on test material:
Hydrolysis to maleic acid occurs in aqueous conditions, so test substance was likely a mixture of maleic anhydride, maleic acid and its sodium and
potassium salts, thus the analyte was maleic acid.

Partition coefficient:
-2.68
Temp.:
19.8 °C
pH:

Details on results:
No evident variation (differs less than 0.5 unit from pH 4 to 9) occurs with pH , so the average value is used as logP, which is -2.61.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
logP is -2.61 at 20°C.
